Remains of the Day
Counseling people biblically and seeing people healed by God’s word has been incredibly rewarding for me. Leading people to the Lord for their transformation is such a joy, privilege and grace. One of the ways God blesses me through this ministry is how the truths I present to others for change are also truths for me. You could say, God counsels me through my ministry. After a long day of counseling, it is important for me to take pause and reflect on what God has been saying. At times, I have found it difficult to just move on from the pain and struggle that others share with me. I care. I don’t like seeing folks suffer. No one does. This space is where I will try to process some of what God is speaking to me through counseling and my own personal daily devotions and learning. In case you are a counselee reading this, please know, I will not share your story. This space is mine. I hope these words are a blessing to those who read them and ultimately that God is glorified through them.

Canada Revenue Agency and Porn - Part 3 - Being Made Whole
On our own, we cannot stop sinning. Not just for porn, but for everything. We need Jesus and his Holy spirit to help us and that means we look to Jesus for the solution. Our solutions cannot depend on our strength, and they cannot be man-made solutions. Our solutions need to be Spirit-led and must result in increased worship toward God.
Canada Revenue Agency and Porn - Part 2 - Taking The Bait
Rather than sex be something that a husband and wife engage in to serve one another as an act of worship, we pervert it. We remove the sexual act from marriage. We use it to worship ourselves by presenting people as objects to be used, and we see sex as a vehicle to get what we need for ourselves. Porn distorts sex in every way.
Canada Revenue Agency and Porn - Part 1 - The Scam
The pornification of culture is subtle. We can barely tell it’s happening. This phenomenon is doing something terrible to us and we don’t even realize it. From a very young age, children are being groomed to see porn as harmless.
