Title: The Lords healing

Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.  – 1 Timothy 4:12b

“Just Stop!” I screamed this as the therapist pushed and prodded on my back as I writhed in pain.  She was trying to find the source of my pain to heal me and make me whole again.  This was not unlike how the Lord pushed and prodded me as I battled the demon of pornography.  Like the therapist, the Lord desired to heal me and make me whole again.

God knew that there were little people following in my wake, and that to lead them, He had to inflict some pain. Shame, hurt, and a damaged relationship were all products of my sin that He used to bring me back into wholeness. His desire for each one of us is to remain pure and to be an example for others.

Real men lead in purity.

I'm just an everyday red blooded Irish American. I love my wife Jill, and my kids, Audrey and Payton. I have worked in law enforcement for 15 years. I enjoy camping, shooting guns, and watching movies and sports(Go Beavs!). I'm inspired by those living a radical Christian life, and I love ministries committed to attacking social justice issues related to poverty and victimization through the love of Christ.
