Leprosy

Here is a link to a great article written by Andrew, author of Rowboat and Marbles.

He compares sexual addiction to Leprosy.  I thoroughly agree with this.  (Imagine if we had special compounds where we put all the addicts...)   It sucks life out of us. We can't beat it by ourselves. We have to isolate physically, mentally.  We try to hide it but everyone knows something is off.


The truth is...without proper healing, without a spiritual program, without the connection with God and with other recovering addicts, you will remain a leper.  I am a leper.  I will be a leper for a good while.  Even when I get "healed/cleansed", I will have to remain involved in the healing of other addicts. 

I am pretty sure that this battle with Satan is not going away.  I am pretty sure the world is just going to get worse.  The world and the media make me sick.  I don't own a TV. I don't watch it anymore.  I don't even go to new movies anymore. Do you people out there allergic to dogs and cats hang out at the animal shelter??  If you are allergic to peanuts do you eat them thinking you'll be okay??   I'm too allergic to lust.

 For those in this, those married to those who are, it is safe to say, "we are all enlisted until the conflict is over."

The conflict will continue until Christ himself comes again to the earth and declares that the work is finished.

  1. Good on you for cutting out things in your life that aren't working. That takes a LOT of guts.
