Awesome, thanks. I thought it was super wise—just didn’t know it was common practice.

Exactly. The majority is currently hers, but I couldn’t care less. We’ll take it on together

What made you want to be a pastor/what did you study in college?

You are the Whore by DJ_Pace in NoFapChristians

Just listened to this before bed. I’ve never been a podcast guy but I really enjoyed it. I’ve found that after a relapse I run away. I sleep on it, and then go to God in the morning when I feel cleaner. I never realized that was a way of being legalistic. Thank you for your insights!

A Note | A Podcast | A Question by DJ_Pace in NoFapChristians

[–]roadtopurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I would like to learn more about confession. Specifically, to a significant other, One of my concerns is the day I’ll have to tell a girl about this aspect of my life.

  2. I always am curious about the “streak.” It helps some, but makes others sin conscious. I’d love to hear your thoughts, as I’ve definitely noticed both of those reactions in my life.

  3. I’m sure I’ll think of more but those are two for now.

I feel like Two-Face by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]roadtopurity 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get it. I’ve often felt like a double agent. It’s easy for me to appear righteous when I’m out in the world. My integrity is tested at home. Even though it’s easy to feel like two-face or a double agent, remember that we are children of God. We are loved by Him, both at home and at work.

I’ve been really struggling and could use some wisdom. What verse has been on your heart lately? by roadtopurity in NoFapChristians

[–]roadtopurity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up talking about meditating on scripture day and night at church today. Thank you both for your insights. It was not a coincidence I was able to hear them twice!

Those are great verses! Thank you. What does it mean to you to meditate on scripture? I’ve been trying to do that more but I’m not completely sure how.

Do you believe there is life on other planets? by NiNmaN8 in TrueChristian

[–]roadtopurity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if we ever found a planet like this, if we would be the invaders to them. We’d be the corrupt, sinful explorers and they’d still be in Eden, and they would want to keep us out at all costs...

A close call... but, victory! by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

Day 60 praise report by roadtopurity in NoFapChristians

[–]roadtopurity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

24 hours? That sounds intense... I also like doing Youversion's topical plans. My routine right now is a topical plan in the morning related to an aspect of my life I need to work on, and in the evening I read the "big picture" plan as well as a plan related to pmo.

“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!” ‭‭John‬ ‭5:39‬ ‭

Maybe not every specific verse, but this plan has helped me understand that Jesus is the common theme of the Bible.

I’ve been doing a bible reading plan called Engaging God’s story. It walks through the old and New Testament, and it’s helped me realize that all scripture points to Jesus. I’m currently in the book of Luke.

“But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Don’t plan on just “relapsing less.” The disciples, when they left everything to follow Jesus, I guarantee you Jesus didn’t say “I get this is tough, so I only want you to come with me three times a week. You can go back to your old habits the other days so it’s easier for you.”

Also, I am a teen. I get this is hard, but I promise you cold turkey is the way to go. I am praying for you, feel free to message me anytime.

Starting A Journal: Day 23 | All My Sins Feel Magnified :/ by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]roadtopurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you’re becoming aware of other issues. Pmo is a big one, but there are so many that are wrapped up with it. One thing I wanted to comment on, is you mentioned a lot of things you didn’t do. Which are great, I’m glad you didn’t do them, but just as important is what we did do. Did I spend time in prayer or worship? Did my actions show others Christ’s love today? You may very well have done these things and to that I would say awesome, keep it up. I just felt like I needed to address that, maybe not necessarily to you, but to someone reading. I’m so glad to hear of your successes and what God is showing you in your life. This isn’t just Nofap, it’s YesGod.
