Long Term Acceptance:
by David C. Bissette, Psy.D.
One of the most difficult things to accept about sex addiction is the long term nature of it. Every person who has an addiction resists the idea that an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or sex lasts for a lifetime. Early in recovery addicts often "test" themselves during a good period of time to see if "the addiction is still there." Their hope is that they are "cured forever." They feel that having an addiction forever is such bad news that they can't accept it. It feels humiliating and discouraging. Fair enough. It's not a fun thing to believe.

Dad Take Control of the Internet
by Mark Laaser, Ph.D.
We are experiencing an epidemic of people getting hooked by evils available on the Internet. Pornography is, of course, the number one problem. Sadly, many Christian counselors I talk to are reporting more and more cases of children and adolescents getting involved with these destructive behaviors. It is vital that fathers take the leadership role in modeling healthy behavior and in safeguarding their families from these problems. We must understand that the Internet can be used for a tremendous amount of good. Educationally, its research potential is profound. But like all good things, the Internet can be abused. The sexual perversions that are available on the Internet have been around since the beginning of time. But now, thanks to the Internet, we have quick and easy access to these perversions in the privacy of our own homes.

Daydream Believer:
by Mark Laaser
Remember that movie Hoosiers, in which a small town basketball team wins the state championship in Indiana? In the dramatic conclusion, one of the players gets to sink the shot that wins the game over the highly favored big city school. I think I've watched that movie 20 times. I'd like to be that guy.

Prayers For Help
by Mark R. Laaser, Ph.D.
Have you ever prayed that God would deliver you from sexual lust and temptation? Have you read scripture, gone to Bible studies and church groups, or gone down to the altar numerous times to get help or rededicate your life? I have worked with countless men who have agonized over why God doesn't seem to help them. They have tried all kinds of strategies to get God to help them. I even knew a man once who was so frustrated with his pornography addiction--and I'm not making this up--he actually followed through on the biblical advice to pluck your eye out if it offends you.

Is't No Longer Just About Homosexuality
by John Freeman
It was twenty years ago just this last fall when the Session at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia decided to launch the ministry which eventually became HARVEST USA. That initial outreach focused on bringing the gospel to those desiring freedom from homosexuality. At that time there were about eight homosexual bars and restaurants and about 50 homosexual organizations within just a few blocks of the church. Today there are approximately twenty bars and over 200 organizations, just in the Philadelphia area, which exist just to encourage people into homosexuality. In fact, about 5,000 of these types of groups exist nationwide today. An increasing number are affiliated with colleges and universities.
