I am proud that I belong to a church in Williamstown NJ where our pastor speaks from the Bible about every subject that the world talks about. He is very transparent and has no problem addressing what is common to men/women.......We are losing our people and until we come to the realization that God is able to help us with all things we will forever stay in the dark.Lets' stop playing church and start living with Christ....

It will assuredly cut down on the divorce rate amongst christians. I also enjoyed the 10 signs of the unhealthy dating relationship. I personally found myself in simular situations/relationships that I had to let go because they were definitely unhealthy spiritually/mentally/etc, but the 10 signs hit it right on the money. As for making it through the night...that is a tough one especially when one has been sexually active prior to giving his/her life to Christ, but never-the-less, what I have found that works for me is this, and let me say first that this wasn't a change that happen over night this thing took a while, and I am currently persevering. Matthew 12 verse 43 talks about an evil spirit going out of man, and returning to find house clean an empty etc... Well anytime you are trying to let something go that has been apart of your life, for a while the first thing you have to do is replace whatever it is with something else. Since sex is the issue here making it through the night...If your struggle is at night try fasting, praying, reading, or all three at that time(remember Matthew 17 verse 21). As I stated earlier this may not be something that is going to take place over-night in your life, however we know God is able, but just incase it doesn't happen over-night just know that God's GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU. Be real with yourself though lets not make a mockery of Gods Grace and Mercy! You have to persevere in your fasting, praying, and reading because the desires are going to continue to come, but it will help you tell your flesh NO in areas where you use to tell it YES!!! You can overcome though because GREATER IS HE THAT IS WITHIN YOU, and don't forget to continue to SPEAK THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE no matter what your situation looks like. The woman with the issue of blood has been great inspiration to me because she battled her issue for 12 YEARS, but with PERSEVERANCE she was delivered! You continue to do what you are supposed to do, and WAIT for God to do what he do, Be Blessed Man/Woman of God!!!!!
