Pure Hearted: Banding Together for Sexual Wholeness

By Mark Ongley

Maintaining purity of heart in a sex-saturated world is a challenge for all believers. Sensuality has always grabbed at our attention, but with the Internet, explicit and highly addictive material is just a click away. A glance becomes a gaze, a gaze can become an obsession, and obsession unchecked can bring the chains of addiction. Getting free can be maddening. But freedom is possible! Studies reveal that abstinence from addictive behavior for ninety days can place you on a new plateau of victory. But you can't do it alone. Gritting your teeth and making more promises leads only to disillusionment and despair. Banding together with a few trusted friends, however, is a key to liberation. Arm in arm with a few others, this approach goes beyond mere sin management and aims for the root issues that feed sexual obsession.
