Three Common Myths About Forgiveness

The first myth about forgiveness is that the person who has sinned against you has to be present to forgive them. Some people don’t believe they can forgive someone unless they are right in front of them. I know personally most of the many people I have forgiven in my life were not present when I forgave them, and yet I was able to forgive them anyway.

Common Lies of Lust Series #1-More is Better

Lust is an absolute liar! It is conniving and out to destroy you, your family, and your legacy. The first lie I want to uncover is the concept of “more is better.” Lust tells you that if you have more: more money, more toys, more real or virtual body parts to look at, and more Internet pornography viewing time, that your life will be better.

Father God's Value of Women

If you had a father who was a manly man raise you, he was there to help you stay out of trouble. If you feared your father, you had respect for your father, understood his values, and knew the consequences. My son knows I love him and I tell him and demonstrate that to him daily. He also knows the value of respecting women, especially his mother. He knows disrespecting women would be immediately painful. He has a healthy respect and fear of dad.

Your Recovery Journey

Traveling through the recovery journey will require you to be humble and honest. You will need to "thaw out" your feelings and allow others through what I call "the glass wall" that has protected you. The journey will require you to "tell all", so that you can be free from the lie, "If you really knew me, you wouldn't love me." This will require you to be honest about the abuses, neglects and abandonments that you may have in your past. Bravely search through your family tree and see if there are any others who were afflicted with this same addiction--only during their generation it was yet to be labeled or identified as treatable. All of this will need to be accomplished so you can now experience friendship, serenity, intimacy--and the psychological and spiritual stability--that are part of the wonderful journey of recovery.

Overcoming Lust: Prayers & Encouragement | Day 2: Grace | Dr. Doug Weiss

As men of God, we should live with honesty and transparency, striving to integrate God into every area of our lives, including our sexuality.

Whether you are single, married, divorced, or widowed, you can make a choice to live with sexual integrity - and this choice can impact those around you and future generations.

The Harm of Acting In

Just as it can be painful for a recovering alcoholic to see how their drinking damaged those around them, it can be painful for the recovering intimacy anorexic to realize what he or she has done to hurt others. For many intimacy anorexics, it is much more comfortable to be the victim. As a matter of fact, they have often been the victim of their own behavior, of their own past, and even of recent relationships. But past victimization by others just makes it that much more difficult for intimacy anorexics to realize that they have actually harmed other people. The acting in behavior is just the start of this list. The harm can be very subtle. Take time and search your mind and heart, in order to complete your healing.
