that no matter how badly you've fallen, how deeply you've gone in a sexual sin, there is hope.

We're talking about the God who raises the dead and he can transform you.

I think because sometimes addiction language is sort of a scapegoat type of approach to sexual sin.

And so I much prefer to talk about it as bondage, because that's what sin is.

And Scripture talks about that whoever you submit yourself to, you become that person's slave.

When someone recognizes, okay, this is bondage, and what led to the bondage was my decision-making,

And then there is a bondage breaker whose name is Jesus Christ who can transform my life.

That infuses the situation with more hope versus, oh, it's just an addiction.

And I think that the language of bondage also helps people to recognize the spiritual root of it.

Because at the end of the day, you asked me earlier, what if someone doesn't have a spiritual bent?

At the end of the day, whether they do or not or claim to or not, it's always spiritual.

It always comes down to what we're worshiping.

And if you're not worshiping the true God,

you're going to find another idol.

And for many people, it's the idol of pornography and sexual sin.

So one day I was counseling a young man and I said, man, how are you doing with porn?

And he said, you know what?

I'm doing pretty good.

I could see kind of like a sort of a joy in his response.

Like I'm doing really good.
