Surfing for God: Overcoming Lust and Porn


“Love comforts like sunshine after rain, But lust's effect is tempest after sun; Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; Love surfeit's not, Lust like a glutton dies, Love is all truth, Lust full,” so mused William Shakespeare. And the rising of pornography habits and sinful imaginations is just a symptom of a deeper disease affecting many modern men.

The bible says: “He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13).  And in “Surfing for God” Christian counselor Michael John Cusick not only reveals the reasons for such problems but offers solid solutions.  He employs stories and biblical truths related through his 20 years of counseling experience to help the reader who struggles with porn, lust, and sin.  

Surfing for God shows you How to:

·        1. Recognize how porn habits begin
·        2.   Prevent porn habits and lust
·        3. Beat the habit using biblical truth.

You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart (Matthew 5:27,28).
“Surfing for God” guides you along a view and journey toward understanding how porn habits begin as you learn what to know and do to differentiate between sexual fulfillment within biblical parameters, and how to turn away from such fleshly desires.

Charles Spurgeon observed: “Evangelical repentance is repentance of sin as sin: not of this sin nor of that, but of the whole mass. We repent of the sin of our nature as well as the sin of our practice. We bemoan sin within us and without us. We repent of sin itself as being an insult to God. Anything short of this is a mere surface repentance, and not a repentance which reaches to the bottom of the mischief. Repentance of the evil act, and not of the evil heart, is like men pumping water out of a leaky vessel, but forgetting to stop the leak. Some would dam up the stream, but leave the fountain still flowing; they would remove the eruption from the skin, but leave the disease in the flesh.”

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul (1 Peter 2:11).
