Spiritual pride is a very dangerous, yet easily overlooked, form of pride which often allows other sins to creep in along with it.

Perfectionism is a form of pride that will take a desire to work hard or to do well to an unhealthy and even sinful extreme.

Pride is very subtle. We may only appear to be keeping ourselves safe. Safe from embarrassment, from being exposed, from being hurt.

The self-life loves to express itself. It has many faces, but leaves us blind to the way pride takes root in our hearts.

Once we see that our self-life is the root of all sin, it's time to dig a little deeper, looking at what allows pride to flourish and grow.

A false gospel is being preached that rejects the cross, and so many in the church are unaware of what it really means to follow Jesus.

The fight for freedom from sexual sin is often a long, drawn out battle. But it is worth it, and we must not grow discouraged along the way

Temptation will come for a man seeking freedom from porn. But learning how to fight will defeat it and bring greater measures of freedom.

Prayer is a vital aspect in overcoming porn addiction as it draws us deeper into relationship with God and aligns our hearts with His heart.

Even though pornography pollutes the thoughts of a sex addict, God promises that His Word has the power to purify our hearts and our minds.

A Christian who lives his life in pursuit of worldly pleasure is setting himself up for compromise, temptation, and failure.

Repentance is vital to overcoming sexual sin, and the Bible has clearly shown us the right way to repent so that we can gain true freedom.

Participating in Christian activities doesn't mean we are right with God. It takes more than outward activity to deliver us from sin.

Sexual sin is just the symptom of a much deeper issue and the only way an addict can hope to gain freedom is by dealing with the real issue.

Reverence to God is only one aspect of the fear of the Lord. Freedom from porn comes as we begin to see the fuller picture of this subject.
