CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SEXUAL ADDICTIONS AND STRUGGLES

Today I was at a lunch where we discussed the struggles with sexual sin that exist in the church, and how we as women can help this problem in the church. Statistics abound of the ministry leaders lost to following their own desires down a path that leads them away from the Lord. We talked about how huge the problem of pornography, homosexuality, adultery, and premarital sex is within the church, and yet it is hardly discussed. What can we do to help the church and be sensitive to these issues as we minister to women?, we discussed. We need to talk about the beauty and goodness of sex in the right contexts first of all. We need to talk about struggle in general and be willing to be who we are and not try and put on a fake face. We need to be willing to get messy, entering into the pain of life and the struggles of others, believing that there is hope in our great God who can make all things new and restore perfect beauty and rightness to his creation. What would you say?
