Bible Question:
I'm addicted to pornography. How do I stop? I love Jesus and have given my life to him. How do I stop using pornography? I know it's a sin and I desperately want to repent. I stop for a while but always go back to it. What do I do? |
Bible Answer: Wise quote from another............................................. Hello Angst33, A wise person once said on this forum "Smoking is just another way that we fill a need for ourselves. This is idolatry - we become the source (through whatever means) of fufilling our needs. That is exactly what god wants to do." I would say that the same thing is true of pornography. It is a substitute to fill a need in your life. I would think that the best way to stop using it is to allow God to meet your needs so that there is no reason to look at it anymore. I would also recommend that you join a small group at your church and ask them to help keep you accountable by asking you on a weekly basis how you are doing in that area of your life. P.S. For those of you who wonder who the wise person I quoted was, it was none other than Angst33, themself :) |
