I Know How You Do It


I know how you do it. I know the moment your wife is out the door, you’re on the web looking for it. I know you delete your internet history as soon as you’re done. I know your wife installed a content filter on the computer. I know you installed keystroke software so you could get the password. I know how you accumulate magazines and videos. I know every few months you throw them all out and swear to never buy anymore. I know you buy more less than a week later. I know you drive south to Texas or north to Kansas, because you can’t get any “good” porn in Oklahoma. I know you blew your last paycheck at the strip club and that now the rent is late. I know you cruise online chat rooms looking for someone to cyber with. I know you’ve talked to underage girls. I know you pay for your escorts in cash. I know you stole from your job to get that cash. I know how alcohol fuels your lust. I know the guilt you carry. I know the shame you hide. I know that right now you feel like throwing up. I know all this because I was there. And if I wasn’t there myself, I knew someone who was.

But do you know what else I know? It doesn’t have to be this way.

There is One who can help you stop all of it. There is One who knows your temptations, knows your flaws, and knows you want out. There is One who can purify your heart, renew your mind, and change your habits. He is The Christ. He is Jesus. He loves you and wants to save you. But He doesn’t wave a magic wand. He doesn’t cast a spell. He won’t take your problems away by force. He won’t barge into your life. He requires your cooperation. He asks that you do your part. I’ve designed this ministry to help you do that. To start the process that will lead to a life of freedom and joy that only Christ can provide. It is my prayer that you are blessed by this ministry and I’ll talk to you again soon.

In Him,
Ben
