engagement

I have been dating the love of my life for 4 years. I have her father’s blessing to marry her, and she knows I battle a porn addiction. My question it’s how long should I be porn sober before I propose; to have peace of mind before hand.

I think this depends on your measure and degree of relapse as well as what your measure of victory and freedom from this addiction is.  Because this question should really be answered by someone that is in your (and your fiancee’) sphere of influence,  I would highly recommend that you discuss this openly with your pastor or whomever will be doing your premarital counseling.

 

 

homosexuality

im already a christian i thought i will be healed from being a homosexual man when i accepted Jesus Christ wholeheartedly as my Lord & Savior, but why does this sin is still lurk in me and i still have attraction to men and worst having lust to them? is it possible or is there a miracle that a homosexual man will be healed and become a heterosexual man? please help..

Struggling in your mind/heart is not sin.  Acting out upon that struggle, that temptation to something you know is sinful is sin. The bible is clear that we will always be enticed by our own desires (James 1:14) and that we will always battle with our flesh. (Galatians 5:17).  Romans 7 talks a lot about sin living in us but then gives us the HOPE in Christ that helps us to overcome.

You are not alone and what you are struggling with is not isolated– The bible tells us that the things we struggle with are not uncommon!  (1 Corinthians 10:14)

Accountability Report Content/Sample

Recently our school district has introduced a new technology plan. Starting in Middle school, each student is provided an iPad Mini for all their schoolwork. Sadly, we have watched our 12 year old daughter plummet from a self-confident, self-motivated, consistent Honor Roll student and member of the NJHS to failing almost every class in school. The iPad has become an appendage. She uses it almost constantly-obviously it is not for school by looking at her grades and the daily emails we receive for missing/late assignments. When we try to figure out what she is doing with it, all the history has already been deleted. We want to know what is consuming our daughter’s time and causing her to become depressed and isolated from our whole family. We do not believe it is necessarily pornography, but is she endangering herself in chat rooms or email, etc. The district has blocks and filters in place, but as concerned parents, we still see more online access and freedom than we are comfortable with giving to our daughter. We have blocked so much on the device already, however it seems impossible to keep up with the newest chat/text sites, etc. My husband and I discussed that rather than continuing to lose the battle of blocking and restricting access, we would like to install X3watch to monitor her activity to open opportunities for discussion. Instead of just blocking everything, we would like to teach her about accountability and using the internet responsibly with integrity. We also have a son that will receive an iPad Mini next year as he moves on to the school she is currently attending. We realize that someday, there won’t be someone there to restrict our childrens’ access to the internet-and hopefully over the next six years we will be able to teach our children these valuable life lessons as technology marches on. The content and access to inappropriate information in the future will probably continue to grow and spread like a disease.
On your site, we were unable to find detailed information about what the report looks like and exactly what it will show. Will it only show questionable/inappropriate sites, or does it show ALL activity on the devices that it is installed on in your home? It would be very helpful if somewhere on your site there was a sample report and explanation of what it does and does not show. We already have the school’s permission to install this application on our daughter’s iPad. If it shows everything, I know of many other concerned and involved parents that will follow in our footsteps. If the current report layout is only intended for “risky” sites or for strictly AP’s of people struggling with pornography addiction, perhaps something should be developed for parents in the same situation as we are-a report for parents that shows the choices our children are making online and the paths our children are taking whenever we have our back turned? Thank you very much for everything you do…xxxChurch is making the world a better place and saving families!

First,  I just want to say that I think you have made a wise statement and I applaud you for standing firm.

“We realize that someday, there won’t be someone there to restrict our childrens’ access to the internet-and hopefully over the next six years we will be able to teach our children these valuable life lessons as technology marches on. The content and access to inappropriate information in the future will probably continue to grow and spread like a disease.”

I thought it was important to post your question live on the site so that others can see what is happening in many schools today and that you, the parent do still have the “upper hand” (position of control)  so to speak where your children are concerned.   You can set time limits for iPad usage.   You can make it only available in public areas of your home etc.  AND most importantly you can still install additional filtering software on it such as X3watch.     Lastly,  I highly recommend that you visit our sister site- iParent.TV and partake of it.  It’s free and is an asset to parents and caretakers of children growing up in today’s technical and overtly-sexual world.

I am also forwarding your contact information onto a lead supervisor at X3watch so they can assist in answering your specific software questions.

God bless you & your household today and always!
