A pause for deep reflection. I am wondering about the 'adultery' and its application to pornography and cyber sex activities. I resonated well with the issue of denial of self as this is so huge in a cultural that magnifies all of our gaps and the 'easy' way to get a 'fix' or 'acquire more'. Without some Divine help and support we are fighting tough forces. Any thoughts on how to acquire help to engage in self-denial practice?
Thank you for these very important and probing questions and reflections! They are very relevant. I'm not sure I know of many resources that I could recommend on this front, though one does come to mind: I know many people have found a lot of help - especially in this area of addiction, pornography, etc. - from my friend Jonathan Leonardo's "Love Reality" ministry. Some involved in the ministry also produce a podcast called "From Death to Life," and you may be blessed by a recent episode that featured a mutual friend of ours, who shared about his own journey out of lust and pornography: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/133-from-scarcity-mindset-to-a-rich-mindset-joe/id1536315540?i=1000630159977
