Reform only provides outward change because ones heart's motive to please self has not changed. Reasons for change are usually for acceptance or comfort.
"... sorrow of the world
produces death ..

Urgent! We now can by God's help escape this path of reform.

"I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to [the point of] repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to [the will of] God ...." (2 Corinthians 6:9)

Repentance is heart change. When one's inside motive changes, the whole approach to what and why a person does things then changes.
"... repentance without regret, [leading] to salvation..."

Our heart follows the path it desires.


The key question is from what heart motivation do you seek to overcome your sexual problems. They have everything to do whether you will change for the long run.

Although it might seem a bit negative, this penetrating interrogation is exactly what we need to keep us focused on the race during those great times of trial. Let's move forward now into a survey of the course.
