Next Steps
Brothers,
I am so glad that I found this site and the Pink Cross Foundation.
The work that Shelley Lubben and her team are doing is striking at the very heart of the porn industry.
My story is not unique, common like most others, abusive, alcoholic, suicidal parents, poverty and drugs to grow up in.
I found the Lord at 19, deeply addicted to porn, alcohol, but thankful not to hard drugs. God, by His grace and mercy, has spent the last 30 years working with me, cleansing me, renewing me, and forgiving me as I see-sawed in and out of porn and recovery. Thank God for repentance, I was such a liar and fool, thinking I could be a strong Christian and yet have this little part of sin to play with. Lord please forgive me. Thanks to God and this site, I have been porn free for going on two weeks now. Praise God!
Brothers, I want to encourage you, times are changing, God is doing something very profound in this nation and the hearts of men and I want to be on the winning side of it. So I would encourage you support this ministry Pink Cross Foundation. I looked at their financial disclosure statement and I would suggest you do also, and consider the billions of dollars and countless lives this industry of porn destroys and do something. Most of us spent a lot of money and time supporting our addiction, it would seem only reasonable to support the recovery of ourselves and others who are repenting out of this sin.
So look in your heart and ask the Lord what He may have you do to help others be rescued out of and escape the hell of porn. For me, when I stand before the Lord, I don’t want to hear Him say, “Why did you spend more on porn than on helping people who I died for?”

Way to go. You are going to like being free from porn. You are a man so you are still going to find women sexy and attractive but God will give you the power not to act on the lust. You will some how just be able to appreciate their beauty. Just looking at a woman and thinking she is beautiful but not thinking of her as a prospect for sex will somehow put you in a good mood. Before when I was viewing porn, if someone had said that he didn't want to have sex with a hot chick, but was happy just appreaciating their beauty, I would have thought he was gay and scouffed. Somehow the Lord is showing me a new way and so far I am satisfied. Sometimes when I am under a lot stress I want view porn. But if you ask for God's help, even when you don't want it, you will be happy with the end result. Keep on your journey and invest in yourself.
Thanks hoping2behelpful,
