Millions
of people in America and around the world go through their daily lives merely
existing, with no peace and no joy. Their existence often consists only of a
steady diet of compulsive or addictive behavior.
Such behavior may involve drugs, alcohol, pornography or perverted sexual desires. Whatever form it takes, it controls the person while never contributing anything to soundness of mind, peace, happiness, job security, or family togetherness. Worst of all, it does nothing to improve one's walk with his or her Creator. Instead, it invariably drives a wedge, blow by blow, between that person and the relationship he or she desires to have with God and with those people who live and work around him or her.
I lived that life for more than twenty years, most of the time believing that the dark side of my life was hidden from everyone around me, including those people who cared most deeply for me.
When I made Jesus Christ the Lord of my life, I saw for the first time how ugly darkness can be when seen from the outside looking in. A person who has never experienced light rarely recognizes darkness as being anything undesirable. He thinks darkness is all there is.
I pray that something you read in Fires of Darkness or on this web site will help to make a difference in your life if you or someone you know is living in the lonely darkness of pornography addiction, homosexuality, or other forms of perversion. I pray that the chains of sin which have bound you will be broken and that, perhaps for the first time in your life, you will be privileged to know the Peacemaker.
Pornography kills! It kills marriages and other relationships. It kills trust. It kills the ability to be honest. It kills finances. And most of all, it kills innocence...the innocence of the victims of crimes that are committed when a person acts out what he or she has seen or read in pornographic material. But it also kills the innocence of the addicted one. No longer can that person say with honesty that he or she has never committed adultery, for if it is done in the heart, as the Bible says, then it has been done. No longer can that person say that he or she has never looked upon someone else's son or daughter - perhaps even yours - with thoughts of carrying out some perverse act upon them.
I hope that you, if you have found yourself in the position of being addicted to pornography, will do something about it. Accountability is crucial. Realize that there is no hope for you to be totally relieved of the burden such an addiction places upon you unless you first turn to God. He is your only way out!
