The Cure for Sexual Addictions

As one who has spent several years in bondage to sexual addictions believing that there is a way to live victorious over them, (There are way too many verses in the Bible that point to living a victorious life to believe otherwise.) as one who has spent the last several years seeking for answers and resources on freedom from sexual addictions, and as one who wants to spread the good news that living victorious over sexual addictions IS possible, I wanted to share something I recently encountered that is powerful in this area! I couldn't think of a better way to get people to go to this site and hear/read some of this for themselves than to just include a couple quotes from it to peak their interest.

Here are some quotes from John Piper's sermon and a link at the bottom where you can go to hear/read the entire sermon:
"My prayer for this conference, and for all of you one by one, is that you will see and savor the supremacy of Christ—married or single, male or female, old or young, devastated by disordered desires or walking in a measure of holiness—that all of you will behold and embrace the supremacy of Christ as the blazing sun at the center of your life, and that the planet of your sexuality, with all its little moons of pleasure, will orbit in its proper place."

"This is the blazing sun at the center of your solar system, holding the planet of sexuality in sacred orbit. This is the ballast at the bottom of your little boat keeping it from being capsized by the waves of sexual temptation. This the foundation that holds up the building of your life so that you can build with strategies of sexual purity. Without this—without knowing and embracing the supremacy of Christ in all things—the planets fly apart, the waves overwhelm, and the building will one day fall."

"Little souls make little lusts have great power. The soul, as it were, expands to encompass the magnitude of its treasure. The human soul was made to see and savor the supremacy of Christ. Nothing else is big enough to enlarge the soul as God intended and make little lusts lose their power."

"Therefore, the deepest cure to our pitiful addictions is not any mental strategies—and I believe in them and have my own. The deepest cure is to be intellectually and emotionally staggered by the infinite, everlasting, unchanging supremacy of Christ in all things. This is what it means to know him. Christ has purchased this gift for us at the cost of his life. Therefore, I say again with Hosea, let us know, let us press on to know the Lord."
