Had a good friend send me a link to the book "Porn-Again Christian" by Mark Driscoll. This is a quick read, but is full of great insight on our battle as males with sexual sin. This book is frank and often borders on crass, but sometimes we do need to hear it like it is. Sin is ugly, and this epidemic of sexual immorality in our nation, the world and in Christianity as a whole needs to be called out, so Driscoll does.
If you are a man who ever struggles with sexual sin (pretty sure that's all of us who still have everything in tact) I recommend it. I've been caught in the trap before, I battle my flesh every day in this area and it's good to have it brought in different lights like this.
This one section of the book really just struck me...Mark says that as a human being...
You are not an animal. You are the glory of God.
You are not a pervert. You are the glory of God.
You are not an addict. You are the glory of God.
You are not a victim. You are the glory of God.
You are not a fool. You are the glory of God.
Absolutely fantastic part. It was worth reading for me if just for these lines.
Remember, I did say if you are a MAN...read this. I wouldn't recommend it to ladies, and Mark kind of prefaces the book as such. It really is quite graphic in its disgust with sexual sin. I'm putting a link here to the website where you can download the book and read it for free.
