Frequently Asked Questions.

Christian Beliefs

Can a person loose their salvation from porn use? I was recently listening to a well known christian speaker, who said, “Sin drives God away from you”, he continued to tell
about how God can turn his back on you when you have been involved in sin for awhile. At that point, you are condemned, and you will not be able to get God to change
his mind. You have actually reached the end of God’s grace. No amount of crying and repenting will work. I know it describes this situation in Romans 1;21-31. This is what
happened to Saul in the old testament. I have been involved in pornography for 15 years, and my relationship with him is ruined.

Does sin drive God away from you?

Instead of me giving you my opinion, how about I give you God’s word?

“If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.” -Psalm 139:8

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” -1 John 1:9

^“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 8:38-39

I am aware that in Hebrews there is warning about “trampling the blood of Christ” and taking grace for granted (sinning for the sake of being covered and therefore without any reverence) and also Romans talks about God turning people over to their sin and allowing them to enter into depravity. But keep in mind the latter is ultimately to bring about repentance and a turning back to God.

God pursues us and His desire for us is for us to turn from our wicked ways and follow Him for our good. Not because He is hellbent on sending us there! Just the mere fact that you are worried is a good sign that you still have conviction! I think a balance of the Word is needed.

I hope this helps somewhat… and no, I do not think your relationship with Him is ruined. Please spend more time in His word and in His promises.

feedback

I don’t have a question..just wanted to leave some positive feedback. I just watched Shellie Warrens webinar. It truly was a blessing to me. I’m going to sign up for one of the groups tomorrow!

That is awesome! I’m glad the webinar: The 5 myths of Women, Sex & Porn was a blessing to you and I am certain you will benefit from one of our X3groups for women!

Best wishes.

Masturbation

I am wondering if you have any resources for someone like me who has dealt with masterbation for over 15 years but has never had an issue with porn.

I do have to say that you posted an article of 10 things to help you start the year off right. Those thoughts have really helped. I’ve been a month completely free not without temptation of course. And I want to stay on that track.

I read the M word and saw your webinar. Thank you for those.

Have you read Shellie R. Warren’s book: Pure Heart? She talks a lot about this struggle for women and how she overcame. Pure Life Ministries also has many articles on this subject. We have a women’s blog and resources specifically for women who struggle in this area. You may also want to check out The Beggar’s Daughter-— she writes specifically for women as well.
