The Beauty and Brokenness of Sex (Sexual Addiction, Part 2)

Sex is a wonderful gift from God to be enjoyed within the boundaries our Creator has revealed in Scripture. It points us to the deep intimacy we will one day have with the Lord. Sadly, it is also profoundly misused in many ways, especially with the constant temptation of pornography. We easily become addicted to the rituals and pleasure of sexual arousal and release, thus damaging ourselves and others who are caught in the porn and sex trade industry throughout the world. To break free from compulsive and addictive dependence on sex, we need the help of others in the body of Christ to understand the broken places in our hearts. We also need the grace and forgiveness of our loving Father and a restored vision of the goodness and beauty of God’s plan for our flourishing as sexual beings.
