The Husband’s Story
My wife and I have been married for fifteen years. I am on staff at a local church. We are a Christian family; we love our three children, and my wife home schools.
About a year and a half ago my wife discovered my Internet pornography problem. It devastated her, but in the following [...]
Masturbation: A Form of False Intimacy
by Dr. Harry W. Schaumburg
There is no biblical prohibition that refers specifically to masturbation, and because of that fact there are a number of Christian leaders who endorse the practice. They assume that the practice is morally neutral, neither right nor wrong, but simply allowed when better forms of sex are not available. It is [...]
Sexual Sin: A Plague Among Us
Someone you know has a hidden problem. Perhaps it is your spouse or family member. What you do not know is their secret life of sexual sin. If you know about their struggle with pornography or the secret affair, what you don’t see is the hidden depths of their heart. What is on the inside [...]

Is Everything Okay?
By Harry Schaumburg

The Sexually Addicted Minister:
Someone you know has a hidden problem. He may be on your staff, a pastor in the same town, a wife of a friend, a district leader, an evangelist, or a returning missionary. Perhaps it is your spouse or family member. You know them on a first-name basis, and you know their spiritual gifts. What [...]
The Insanity of Sexual Sin
