Good choices have good consequences. And bad choices have bad consequences.
C.S. Lewis wrote, “If man had never made bad choices, there would be no hell.”
The bad choices of sexual addiction have resulted in a myriad of consequences: broken relationship with God, sleepless nights, loss of marriage, lack of spiritual power, absence of authenticity, etc.
The good news is that with each new day comes new choices – great choices – ready to be made.
The Bible says, “Choose you this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15).
Catch those two words: this day. Regardless of your past, the decisions of this day will set you up for success.
Or failure.
Recovery Step: Make one really wise decision – this day.

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.
