4 A recent nation wide survey revealed: 53% of Christian Men admit to fantasizing about having sex with other women. 54% of Christian Men feel shame about past sexual experiences.

5 A recent nation wide survey revealed: 75% of Christian Men have feelings they do not share with anyone. 35% of Christian Men have others to hold them accountable for their sexual thoughts and behaviors.

6 Ps 119:9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By Living According to Your Word

7 Matt 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart

8 Rom 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

9 1 John 2:15-17 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does- comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

10 James 1:14-15 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

11 1 Cor 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

12 2 Tim 2:22 Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

13 Heb 2:18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

14 1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

15 Phil 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things

16 Heb 4:15-16 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are yet was without sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

17 Pastor Johnny: Why are so many men being defeated? 1) An Over-estimation of Self 2) An Under-estimation of Satan 3) An Under-evaluation of Sin 4) An Un-awareness of Snares I dare you to find anywhere in the Bible where God lowered the standard.

18 Leonard Sweet in Soul Tsunami asked the question: “What is the first step to adultery?” “What is the first step to adultery?” According to research it is the notion of Exceptionism – the notion that you don’t have to follow the rules like everyone else.

19 James Eubanks,FBCW’s Biblical Guidance Minister says: “We live in a Sex Saturated Society. The question every man must ask himself is this …. What am I exposing myself to?”

20 Dietrick Bonhoeffer: “Satan does not feel us with a hatred of God … But with a forgetfulness of God.”
