A superb interview with Jonathan Daugherty on sexual addiction. I particularly like his description of walking out into a field with his friend to view porn for the first time – he describes the awakening of sexual understanding at a young age with the combination of guilt and fascination. This is a great video and I’m looking forward to the second part as Jonathan continues to explore the roots of sexual lust and how to overcome it in the strength of Christ.
There are more (over 100) fantastic video exploring all kinds of areas of sexual brokenness at Pure Passion.
Peter, I am not at all sure he is a sex addict.. I'll wait and see the next episode. I have helped a sex addict through the DTs and into sobriety, then met a host more Sex Addicts. My feeling is that he was suffering from guilt due to his childhood religious upbringing and then a very nasty compulsive habit.
Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.

4th Week after Trinity
Almighty God,
you have broken the tyranny of sin
and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts
whereby we call you Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service,
that we and all creation may be brought
to the glorious liberty of the children of God;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
God’s Word
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, but gracious words are pure. (Proverbs 15:26, ESV)
