Into the Fire

There are so many kinds of darkness in this fallen world. Many of them turn into personal addictions as unsuspecting individuals find themselves enthralled with a certain sin. When people consider addictions, they usually think of drugs and alcohol, but it's becoming more and more common to find tales of those who are addicted to sex.

Using the tools of the internet and smart phones, from politicians to athletes to the everyday male and female of almost all ages, personal photographs of body parts designed to entice and reveal, sexual language texted or emailed via pornographic conversations, all pour through the wireless devices. Homes are sabotaged, lives are ruined, and people's cravings drive them deeper into darkness.

The depravity and perversion of sexuality is on the increase even though there is nothing new under the sun. Every sin entered this world when mankind fell apart in the Garden. It's sad to realize that something precious God gave to man for a holy union has been corroded and diminished by the evil one. And it's sadder still when people fail to see that God has always known what is best for the human race, and addiction never had a part in it.

Father, heal our hearts and our land as we humble ourselves before you. We're all desperate for you. Every single one of us. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
