    Resources of the Fight part 4 of 4PostedThursday, March 18, 2010 @ 6 AMByTed DuncanTaggedlust sin
    Here are the two best books I've read on battling the sin of sexual temptation and temptation in general.


    Joshua Harris, SEX IS NOT THE PROBLEM (LUST IS)

    I don't always like reading books specifically on the topic of lust because many well intentioned authors who are trying be transparent and frank are too descriptive and graphic in their anecdotes and examples which can take my mind places I never wanted it to go.

    Harris' book is a clear and concise treatment of this subject that is rated PG. This book is filled with great advice for dealing with sin that is all centered around the gospel.


    Kris Lundgaard, THE ENEMY WITHIN

    This book deals with the topic of sin in general and is actually based on a book written hundreds of years ago by John Owen called The Mortification of the Flesh.

    Why not pick up 2 copies of one of these titles and go through it with a friend or accountability partner. Harris' book has a study guide that you can buy separately and Lungaard has really helpful questions in the back.

    In this Sunday's message on Matthew 5:27-30 we looked at Jesus's strong challenge to be vigilant in our struggle with sin, particularly the sin of lust. Here are some very helpful resources to help you in the fight.

    INTERNET RESOURCES

    PLUGGED IN ONLINE is a resource offered by Focus on the Family that reviews movies, music, video games and television programming. Remember the good old days when you knew that a PG movie was safe to watch? Nowadays, if you're thinking about a particular movie for you or your children to watch, go to this site to get the low down on the amount of sex, violence, crude language you're be exposing yourself to.

    SETTING CAPTIVES FREE is a Christianity-based interactive 60-day course to find freedom from pornography and sexual addiction. They also offer courses related to a number of other habitual sins including eating disorders, self-injury, and alocholism.

    COVENANT EYES, based on Job 31:1,  is a unique Internet Accountability and Filtering program that logs Internet activity and sends reports to an accountability partner.

    These are just a few ways that we can be pro-active against fighting the temptation that comes our way.

    From one soldier in the battle to another,

    Ted
