Self-Control and Masturbation, within this teaching, we use 1 John 2:12-14, as our model in presenting this material. In these passages, St. John speaks to three different groups. We will do the same and address: 1) Adolescent boys 2) Young men 3) Spiritual fathers.

Point One: Understanding the difference between the words:

Conviction, Condemnation, Guilt, and Shame.

Point Two: The Purpose of our Sex Drive.

Point Three: Walking in our Inheritance.

Please read the below info at least once.

We encourage this material to be used in educating young adolescent boys about their sex drive. Sex is awesome when used the way God has intended or it can be destructive and ruin his life if he chooses to ignore God’s Wisdom.

Additionally, this material can be used by a guy who is struggling with an out-of-control sex drive. It offers hope and guidance with every step before him, leading him into the presence of his loving Heavenly Father.

Finally, this material will benefit a disciplier, counselor, or spiritual father in walking alongside a brother in need.

Our goal is to give you information to aid you in the choices before you and not for you to agree with everything presented here. We hope that if this material is used in a group setting it will contribute to the discussion

God’s love heals. We desire to assist you in drawing closer to your loving Father. Therefore, at the beginning of each teaching, Mike will introduce you to one of the 480 names of God found within scripture describing the character and nature of our wonderful Triune God. He knows you best and loves you the most. He is for you. He is truly amazing.
