XXXchurch: TEENS BLOG

I wanted to be fair to everyone who reads this article. Since I only knew a girls perspective on masturbation, I went to a few of my awesome guy friends. These guys were willing to be open with me about their struggles so that I would be able to better reach not only my fellow struggling girls but also you guys out there who are struggling.  In this way we all can learn better to fight our...

.Sometimes when things get desperate we find that we have only one option but to take matters into our own hands. Okay, I promise that will be the one and only masturbation pun. You know how it is, I had to get it out of my system.

Which ironically is how people usually feel when they masturbate. That they have to get it out of their system. I know how that feels. I'm sure lots of you know...

Sometimes I feel attacked like I’m a victim or a hostage in a war within myself. Part of me wants evil and part of me wants what God desires. Then I remember, there is a huge war going on for my soul, for my purity, for my heart that is taking place within myself yet it is so much bigger than myself. Huh, explains why I feel that way.

That seems logical, but do you really ever think about...

Sex culture. It’s literally all around me, and I’ve just about had it. Just yesterday, I was at the grocery store shopping for ingredients for my mother’s birthday dinner (which will be scrumptious by the way), and when I got to the line, I had the displeasure of experiencing somewhat of a sexual assault. The culprit: Magazines.

While standing in line, my mind raced for a way out of my...

 

Like with most addictions, you get to a point where you feel like you can’t stop and you have no control. What you once enjoyed doing here and there for “fun” has now become your life—consuming you and taking control of everything you do.  What you once did for fun has now become your prison.  You feel as though you have no choice but to be consumed by what has become your addiction; and the...

 For many people January is the worst month of the year. We eat too much at Christmas, we have to pay for all the gifts we bought, we look at what went bad in the year before and try to do something about it for the start of January and we end up failing miserably. Yes, I’m talking about new years resolutions.

“A New Year's resolution is a commitment that a person makes to one or more personal...

Marriage to me always seemed pretty lame. You basically submit yourself to another person, stress yourself out, become responsible for your spouse’s actions, and get to constantly worry about that tall man-hunk that keeps talking to her. And up until I was around the age when you start to realize that sex is more than just laying naked next to your wife and the next day she’s pregnant, I had...

 

Pornography whether its images or written words that stir the imagination, it’s all a distortion. That’s not what Sex is, it’s not even what love is! Anything that is sexual sin is not “true” love.

With the combination of a child’s natural curiosity and abuse as the spark that started the fire to what would have been my destruction, I began to get into pornography.

In my young mind though I...

We catch up with Cris and Justin from the band Fallstar. Here is the video below as well as the full interview. Check these guys out on Facebook.

 Chris Ratzlaff: As far as struggles with pornography, I struggled with it a lot when I was about 20. I was really depressed and I kept going to it over and over. For awhile it was like a nightly thing for me and it was pretty miserable. I was just...
