Practical help

You can’t make the trip alone. No matter how hard you try, you need just the right person to take you there. The right guide is needed. You can’t get to the Father on your own merits and it’s useless to try. You need Jesus! With Jesus you’re in.

Some people have a hard time accepting that Jesus is the only way to God. This is true today especially since we are living in a time where so many want to worship a God of their own making. They say that Jesus’ way is too narrow and that a God of love would not be so exclusive. In reality the way is wide enough for the whole world. The way is wide enough for you if you will accept it.

Our sin (including involvement with things like porn, and our attempts to live independently of God) separates us from God and His totally pure and holy presence. Jesus gave His life in exchange for ours so the obstacle of our sins could be removed — forgiven, and relationship established with the Father through Him.

Jesus is the focus here. As the way, He is our ticket to the Father. As the truth, Jesus is the expression of the reality of God’s nature and the fulfillment of all His promises. As the life, Jesus joins us to the Father now and for all eternity.

Who Jesus is, is what you need. Are you having a tough time with porn? Draw near to Him for strength. Do you need to be sure you know God? Click here!
