Coming to Grips with Your Sexual Past
Ours is a sexually broken world. Many people experience the emotional pain that comes with past sexual relationships. Abuse, extramarital liaisons, and sexual exploitation all contribute to damaging the delicate emotional balance of our sexuality.
In this eBooklet, Dr. Lutzer explains the consequences of sexual bonding and the reason for sexual addictions. From the story of a sexually broken woman in the New Testament, this eBooklet explains the requirements for experiencing the sexual healing that Christ can bring to every wounded person.
Here is the much-needed hope that many people desperately long for as they attempt to put their past behind them. With sensitivity and understanding, Dr. Lutzer addresses people where they are and shows them how to get to where they should be.
Top Highlights
“When God created Eve out of Adam’s flesh, He made a powerful statement about our sexuality. God separated femininity out of masculinity, forming two separate people created in the image of God. With this separation came a powerful implanted desire in the male and the female to be reunited in an intimate oneness.” (source)
“Spirit. The responsibility of the Holy Spirit is to convict us of sin so that we might confess it. After that the work of the Spirit ends. But at this point Satan usually takes over and tries to imitate the work of God and convict us of sins that God has already forgiven!” (source)
“ If the Supreme Lawgiver of the Universe has pronounced you clean, do you have the right to pronounce yourself dirty” (source)
“Our battle against lust actually increases when sexuality is viewed as ‘dirty.’ When we accept these desires in themselves as good, as God views them, we can be free to rejoice and to use them rightly, according to God’s specifications.” (source)
“A couple should not live together without the benefit of a solemn covenantal agreement. Sex binds two people together emotionally and spiritually, but the covenant comes first, establishing the permanent bond.” (source)
