If you are a sex addict, it would be helpful for you to spend more time in the Word of God. If you are not a sex addict, It would be helpful to spend more time in God’s word.
Samuel Chadwick wrote, “No one is uneducated who knows the Bible, and no one is wise who is ignorant of its teachings.”
“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
Here’s a great way to dive into the Bible today. Read a passage, then write a response to these four things. It’s called SOAP.
- Scripture – write out the verse
- Observations – write out what you learned
- Application – identify a point of personal application
- Prayer – pray as though this was written only for you
Recovery Step: Immerse yourself into God’s word today.
Author: Mark Denison
Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
