Sexual addiction, or as I call it sexual idolatry, is becoming more and more of an issue. Most have never thought about it until the Tiger Woods situation brought it to the forefront. Now people use it as an excuse. This article by Pure Life Ministries deals with this issue in a biblical manner. If anyone on Gs has a problem with this issue message me. I have a ministry that helps people who are sexually addictied and I deal with it from a spiritual perspective that gets at the root of the problem.

Solomon intimately understood how powerful sexual temptation can be for a young man. It was with him in mind that he wrote the fifth chapter of Proverbs. "My son, give attention to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding… For the lips of an adulteress drip honey and smoother than oil is her speech." (Proverbs 5:1-3)

Those two sentences perfectly describe both the power of sexual temptation and its antidote. The wise king understood that, if a young man is to successfully withstand the charms of the temptress, he must be prepared ahead of time. Time spent in the Word everyday builds up a man's immune system against the poison of pornography. The scriptures are simply the thinking and perspectives of the Lord. As a man continually immerses himself in the Bible, he will gradually take on God's mindset toward life, people and, yes, even sexuality. A man who devotes daily time to the Word is given spiritual insight into the power of temptation and how it works.
