Compulsive Behaviors
Compulsive behaviors like food, social media, gaming, or gambling can quietly take control, but Jesus offers real freedom. Through repentance and Spirit-led formation, new patterns and lasting change are possible.
SINS OF ENSLAVEMENT
Sexual Sin
Sexual sin occurs when sexual desire is expressed outside of God’s design for love, covenant, and faithfulness. It can take many forms, including pornography, lustful fantasies, sexual activity outside of marriage, or compulsive sexual behaviors that feel difficult to control. What often begins as curiosity, comfort, or escape can quietly reshape desires, distort intimacy, and lead to secrecy, shame, and broken relationships. Sexual sin is not just about behavior—it is a matter of the heart, shaping how we view ourselves, others, and God.
Jesus does not respond to sexual sin with condemnation, but with truth, grace, and an invitation to restoration. Through repentance, forgiveness, and Spirit-led transformation, desires can be reordered and hearts renewed. Freedom is often formed over time through true repentance, Scripture, prayer, and wise support from others. As you take intentional steps of obedience, God works to heal what has been broken and form a life marked by purity, faithfulness, and love. You are not defined by your past—Jesus offers a new way forward.
Flee from sexual immorality… you are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
— 1 Corinthians 6:18–20
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
— Psalm 51:10
For God did not call us to impurity, but to live a holy life.
— 1 Thessalonians 4:7
