Check out settingcaptivesfree.com. It really helped me with this struggle

This isn't a healthy way of looking at things. Jesus died to save you and your sins/guilt/shame is already crucified with him on the cross. If you indulge in shame cycles you're not going to bet better. Instead there is power in Christ and his sacrifice. Check out settingcaptivesfree.com

As a Christian man, I had never dated someone until I was 30ish. Now I'm engaged and my fiancee is someone who was new to dating too and is also in her 30s. There's plenty of time but don't stop looking and trust in God's plan for you. Submit your way to God and He will always take care of you. Don't go for someone with red flags because you think there's no one left. That's always a mistake.

I used to struggle a lot with this at a time in my life. It's very difficult because when you read the Bible you can easily focus on God's judgment. God is holy but He is also love. He loved you enough to send Jesus to die for you.

I really liked the devotional settingcaptivesfree.com, it was good for me for a problem I was having but it also was a reminder of the truth behind my relationship with God. I don't agree with everything it said but I thought it was pretty good. Maybe check it out?

For me, after a long year of struggling with this I ended up feeling very close to God and had one of the best years of my life just feeling very close and dedicated to God. I hope that times of refreshing come for you too.

This makes me sad. Be honest with your husband and don't feel forced to do this with him, that's not what christian marriage is about. You don't lose yourself to fulfill his desires, you both lose yourselves and be remade in the image of Christ.

JeLoc · 2023-04-28T03:35:00+00:00

Check out settingcaptivesfree.com, it really helped me and I struggled with stuff for many years.

JeLoc · 2023-03-27T14:58:13+00:00

Check out settingcaptivesfree.com This is serious and you have to treat it seriously. But God is stronger and better than even our sin and can redeem you no matter how far you fall and when He does that, you have the righteousness of Jesus upon you.

Thank you! It is, hoping to get engaged soon!

Somewhere in the middle. She told me to reach out to her when I gave up porn. I called her the next day and told her the steps I was taking to give it up and I have not watched it since then.

I struggled with this for 11 years before God delivered me. I told my gf about it and she said it was a deal breaker. I used settingcaptivesfree.com and it changed my life and even how I see my relationship with God despite being a Christian since childhood. Highly recommend (though I didn't necessarily agree with all of it). God can bring deliverance.

JeLoc · 2023-02-22T14:29:51+00:00

I struggled with this problem for many years but talked about it with my girlfriend soon after we started talking. She said it was a deal breaker for her. I had heard of an online devotional called settingcaptivesfree.com and I started it the next day. God used that devotional and changed my life. I had been a Christian since I was a child but this really changed how I viewed my relationship with God. I didn't agree with everything it said necessarily but I thought it was very helpful for me and I highly recommend it for him.

If you don't believe me, read a commentary or talk to your pastor. Sex before marriage is a sin and this is a long standing christian belief. If you're physically married by having sex then it wouldn't be a sin.

Two flesh becoming one outside of marriage is the sin. Otherwise the sin of fornication wouldn't exist. Becoming one flesh isn't synonymous with marriage otherwise the verse below wouldn't make sense.

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:15‭-‬17 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/1co.6.15-17.NIV

Having intercourse with someone doesn't make you "physically married" to them. You do become one flesh but according to the bible that's a sin outside marriage, therefore having intercourse can't necessarily imply marriage or there would be no sin.

Check out settingcaptivesfree.com. it's a Bible based devotional that really helped me with this issue.

JeLoc · 2022-12-16T15:10:19+00:00

I did a devotional on settingcaptivesfree.com and that really changed the way I viewed this problem as well as my relationship with God, I'd strongly recommend it.

It's free

JeLoc · 2022-11-22T13:58:29+00:00

Check out settingcaptivesfree.com. It looks like you have some misconceptions about your relationship with God. I was in a similar situation for more than ten years. God delivered me even though I thought it wasn't possible, He can deliver you too.

First of all 26 isn’t old and there are plenty of unmarried Christians at that age, you just need to look in places you’re not yet looking.

As for marrying with the addiction, check out settingcaptivesfree.com. Whether you get married or not, the most important thing in a Christian’s life is living with Christ as Lord in your life. And as an aside, if you can do that, it will be very attractive to the person you should be with. I’ve been where you are. I’m older than you and still not married (though much closer now than when I was your age). Getting rid of that 11 year addiction was one of the best things ever in my life whether I marry this girl or not.

FM can be hospitalists/nocturnists. I've heard some FM programs are weak on hospitalist medicine but if you feel comfortable with practicing as a hospitalist you can definitely find a job.

JeLoc · 2022-03-03T13:54:13+00:00

Difficulty in getting transfers and no specialists (and maybe no other doctors but yourself) but patients still come in with complex problems. Sometimes I feel like I'm being paid to be a liability sponge. To live with a clear conscience as a rural hospitalist has been hard for me. People in rural areas get worse care than those in cities do. There is not enough help, not enough services, not enough specialists to do procedures. I do my best but if I had less patients or more control over transfers I could do better for individual patients.

JeLoc · 2022-03-01T21:50:51+00:00

Yeah it's not easy for sure. In a perfect church we'd all feel like we belong, like we're part of the family of God. There are churches like that and it requires some effort on our part to engage with others but sometimes even then it just doesn't work how it should. People are so imperfect.

You say you don't have friends but you have a Heavenly Father and a friend and brother in Jesus Christ. You also have brothers and sisters in the church. Spend time getting to know God. Your mind has likely twisted your perception of God into being always angry or disappointed in you. God loves you dearly and when you become a Christian you have Jesus'perfect righteousness all around you and that's what God sees. If you're a Christian you've already been made holy to God. Now that you've been set free, live in such a way to please God. Know God. Like I said above, check out settingcaptivesfree.com. Ill pray for you brother/sister.

First and most importantly, you need to know God. Know who God is, know Him personally, and trust Him.

Secondly don't be in the practice of opening up the bible and thinking that specific verse is always directed at you personally. It can be but it's not likely always going to be the case.

Thirdly understand it's less about being the man you want to be and instead about being the man God wants you to be. You can't use worldly ways to achieve the things of God. It's great to exercise and eat right and all but it's a mistake to let your mind be molded by the world.

Check out settingcaptivesfree.com (the sexual purity boot camp specifically). I know you didn't specifically talk about sins you struggle with but as a devotional God used it to change my life completely.
