The ANTHEM article helped a lot as well as this video. My own mind was many times a big warzone and I unfortunately lost the battle quite a few times. I know that I have not tried quite hard enough, but now I will. I had just finished reading "Do Hard Things" and decided to check out the website. My problem is pornography, but my main problem now is my own thoughts since I stopped looking at it. I had known what my problem was for a long time and now am really going to try. I really liked "Do Hard Things" and it inspired me. I am have been a Christian since August, 2006 and live in Queens, New York. This is a problem that I have struggled with for a long time.

People are looking for some kind of mind blowing high and the only thing that can somewhat satify is sex. At least for awhile. After awhile it leaves them as empty and bored as before. Even more so. So they have to be with someone else or try something new. Then a cycle starts. But the only thing that can really satisfy without harming you is God. With sex there are all these repercusions. But with God, it's all good! There are no harmful repercusions! Which is AWSOME!!! hahaha!!! Wow… that is so true.

Personally, I think that the reason why messages like this aren't preached or taught in the modern church is because there are many who really don't want to face their sin. Oh Lord God, I pray that You would bring TRUE revival to your Church, show us our sins, and awaken Her from the slumber of Mediocrity that she is in. In Jesus Holy Name I pray, Amen. AMEN & AMEN!!!!

Sex is just temporary plesure to the body, while God is eternal pleasure to our spirits! Which is better? Temporary or eternal? God is greater than anything we can ever experience! Leave sex to marriage where it's supposed to be, and enjoy the eternal pleasure that Christ gives! So true! Sex is just temporary plesure to the body, while God is eternal pleasure to our spirits!
