Are you discouraged that God hasn’t changed your sinful desires yet? You want to do what’s right and you’re willing for God to change you, so why hasn’t He? It can be painfully frustrating to keep repeating sins you don’t want to anymore. It can be painfully difficult to keep wanting sins you don’t want to want anymore.

Following Fantasies

F

“What are you really looking for?” Chris was in the midst of searching for pornography when he ended up on the phone asking an older Christian brother for help.
