Winning Your Battle: Spirit vs. Flesh

About this ebook
As a Christian, you must fight. You must fight hard to win against Satan and the temptations he puts in front of you. You are created in the image of God, and part of that image is to enjoy beautiful things. And because the female body is a beautiful thing, males enjoy looking at it. But...God tells us that there is a time and a place for everything under the sun (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). The time and place for a man to enjoy a female body is marriage. That's it. No more. Nothing else. No exceptions.

About the Author
Dedication
To my three sons and to men—young and old—who desire to flee from sin in order to live the life they are called to live in Christ.
Introduction
Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy marries girl and they live happily ever after.
Oh, if it were only that pure and simple. But the sad truth is that boys who turn into men are far less apt to be faithful to their wives than ever before. Many of these men won’t engage in an actual physical affair with another woman, but this is not the only type of marital unfaithfulness. The marital unfaithfulness I am speaking of is lust for another woman.
Jesus says in Matthew 5:28 that whoever looks at a woman in a lustful way commits adultery with her in his heart. It doesn’t matter if a woman is across the room, walking down the street, in the pages of a magazine, or in an R or X-rated movie. It’s all the same to God. Lust is sin.
Keeping this in mind, (that it doesn’t matter whether it’s something you are physically doing or ‘just’ fantasizing about) the book you are about to read is all about kicking sexual sin to the curb and how to have the pure heart and mind God has called you to have.
Are you ready to be challenged and encouraged? Then let’s get started.
Chapter One:
What is Pornography?
Pornography is defined as words, pictures, movies or videos that depict near nudity, nudity, sexual content or sexual behaviors.
Once upon a time, if a man wanted a magazine which contained nudity in it, he would have to get up the nerve to walk into a drug store to purchase such material.
Discreetly asking for a magazine that was kept behind the counter to protect young, innocent eyes, was a very difficult thing for many men to do. It wasn’t respectable. Someone might see him.
Because accessibility was limited, there were a lot of men who were unwilling to do what it took to get the pornography that was out there.
Boy, have things changed! Pornography is literately at your fingertips; only a click away in the privacy of your own home.
The fact that pornography is so accessible doesn’t make it any more right or good
