We often falter in our battle with the flesh. But someone continually giving in to sexual sin is not “faltering.” Their minds are fixed and set on the flesh. Romans 8 describes that mind as hostile toward God and cannot even obey God’s law. Proverbs 14 says the “backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways.” A person like this is unable to live a godly life because they always find excuses to obey their carnal desires.

This week, we look at the ways we rationalize sin and why it is crucial in gaining freedom from sexual sin.

When Hayden arrived at the Pure Life Ministries Residential Program, he was a man full of shame and anger towards God. Yet, as the Lord began to show him the wickedness of his own heart, Hayden saw his great need for repentance and to have a genuine relationship with Christ.

Getting a sight of the Lord's mercy through his counselor radically changed his life and he's never been the same since.

The Christian caught in sexual addiction has allowed sin to master him. At first, sin disguises itself as innocent. But beneath that disguise is an enemy whose only desire is you—to master you, to control you, and to destroy you. For the believer, vigilance is essential.
