fighting a problem

deerhunter1224 · 09-19-2006, 08:51 PM

Last week a few of my friends which are good guys. Someone decided that we should go to the strip club. We all ended up going. I am sure its sinful to go to places like this right? I am afraid the next time they go I wont be able to say no. Lets face it I am in my mid-twenties nude women and well you know you were all my age once.

Yep, I was young once, it was disgusting then and its disgusting now. Your a fine prospect for some decent little girl. How do you expect God to send you someone decent if your going to sully yourself in these kind of places?
In my opinion if these kind of places are where our heart is then we've lost our right-standing with God. But all is not lost as long as we repent and turn away from these sins.

The problem with that is how it changes your view of women. Your age should not matter that is just an excuse. When doing that you are devaluing women and the way God created them. He did not create them as some piece of meat we can stare at, they are in his image and here as helpers/mates for us not things for us to lord over by doing things like supporting them doing this.

Deerhunter..this is something that most men struggle with their entire lives, if they are wiling to admit it...I believe there is probably a cutoff age when we finally get enough maturity and strength in our beliefs to finally shrug it off our shoulders...I do believe though that we can appreciate a womans beauty at any age and I still occasionally get that look from another woman whenever i am out-perhaps at the store-well usually there, and i just smile at them and go on my way,,
It is the lusting after women that we all have to guard against and I spent over 20 years playing and singing in a band and i know all about the temtations that can bring...
But, faith and a belief in the power of God is the only thing that will bring you through..
Good luck, stay strong and you will beat this, providing you have the desire to..

Yes, I was your age at one time and ashamed of the things I did also. Thank God I was saved at the age of 26.In all my prayers I ask the Lord to forgive me for the things I did in the past, and I am over 66. I was saved, but still have to be judged on judgement day. I ask for his mercy!!!

Brother, you are at the age of accountability and should know right from wrong by now. If you don't, may God have mercy on you!
