When you examine the scriptures carefully, you discover that lust is always a distraction from a life of purpose. When Joseph was tempted by another man’s wife to have a clandestine affair, he aptly highlighted that the offer by Mrs. Potiphar was antithetical to fulfilling his purpose. Genesis 39:7-9 ..and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph…More
Proverbs 27:20 “Hell and Destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.” (NKJV) This verse is a reminder not to be deceived by our eyes. I would like to highlight this deception in our quest for sexual purity. The more nudity and impurity we indulge our eyes on, the more unsatisfied our souls become. And if…More
Proverbs 31:3-5 “Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.” (ESV)Proverbs refers to the godly…More
Proverbs 29:3 “A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.” (NIV) I cannot imagine a more modern common example of being a companion of prostitutes than the consumption of internet pornography. Pornography is but a collection of online prostitution aimed at stifling men sexually. Proverbs tells us that this companionship…More

These are things I wish I knew then, based on the reality I was facing. 1. SHIFT YOUR THINKING You want desperately to be free but…More
Of the top 10 visited websites in Kenya, two are porn sites. About 3 are betting/gambling sites. This means that more than half of our golden Internet time as Kenyans is dedicated to addiction. During this quarantine season, more people are online than before. And without the monitoring systems of work and HR, it is not unusual to hear that…More
Hi Ernest, I need your advice. So my boyfriend and I have started dating. We are serious and heading for marriage. We are both born-again believers. We have made our stand on purity clear based on our values and our mutual faith in Jesus. We wanted to agree on everything so that there are no red flags. We even agreed…More
Struggling woman Hi Ernest, hope you are doing well. First of all, before you read this I would like you to read it with your wife because it is a sensitive topic. If you can’t read, let your wife read it herself and tell you what you need to know. I am a lady who has really struggled with sexual…More
Here is a life hack for any born-again believer who has trouble with their purity when searching on Google images. When I was addicted to pornography, one of the things that often brought me down was being enticed to click on a semi-nude picture when looking for something else unrelated while browsing Google images. Because the addiction renders you powerless…More
I met a young man recently who was struggling with porn. He professed to be born again. He wanted to be free. I asked him how his entertainment was. I threw a few popular titles his way. He admitted to being a consumer of all of them. “Are you aware that the trailers alone show that those programs are rated…More
It is increasingly difficult to come across mainstream entertainment that does not titillate your sexuality. For followers of Jesus Christ, our existence on this planet is not a chemical accident. We believe in the origin, the purpose and the destiny of life. Above all, we believe in an author of life for whom the world has been created to glorify.…More
