Blog update...
I've made a few changes to the blog and have had a bit of an "umm" and "arr" about the way forward. I'm no longer anonymous, as you can see from the profile on the left, which is mainly because it is becoming more or less impossible to stay anonymous on the internet as well as people becoming more and more antagonistic toward those that don't reveal their true identity...
I've also added a link at the top to Mark Driscoll's free book "Porn-Again Christian", which is available if you click the image. Brothers, as I've said on the image, click this link, download the book, read it, digest it and pass it on. Let's get accountable, let's encourage one another and let us fight sin together... I just received this email from a dear friend of mine which I think is very helpful: "As we wait for the new creation when our corruption will be dealt with forever, we are called to "fight the good fight". I hope this will help you. Pass it on, if you feel it's appropriate, I suggest reading it first as some might find it a bit too frank in it's discussion."
One other thing I'd like to point you to. Dave Bish, found over at the blue fish project, has started a new UCCF bloggers blog where you can find other people who work with and for UCCF and catch an overview of their blogs too...
God bless.

I read Driscoll's book and was really encouraged by so much of it. Men should "man up", get accountable and know that Jesus has ultimate demands over every area of our lives, including t'internet et al.
But I must say it was quite heavy on the fear of the Lord - which is obv. deeply Biblical and needs to be taught, but lacking on how Christ is better than porn and how we are cheating our hearts out of the full riches of grace that we have in Christ.
I would recommend reading Driscoll's book in conjunction with something like Thomas Chalmers' the expulsive power of a new affection, which considers how we might pursue our deepest joy and thus deplace sinful lusts from our hearts. Combined the two give perhaps a fuller Biblical picture of sanctification.
