The sermon from Sunday on adultery and lust may have you looking for resources for yourself or someone else. Here are some ideas:
Setting Captives Free - free online courses on a myriad of addictive issues such as sexual purity, food issues, substance abuse, and gambling from a God-centered perspective.
Books I recommend:
Sex is Not the Problem (Lust Is) by Joshua Harris - a great, Christ-centered, easy-to-read resource for anyone wanting to understand the problems that sexual sin pose.
Sex and the Supremacy of Christ edited by John Piper & Justin Taylor - broader in scope than Josh Harris' book. The chapters are based on lectures given at the Desiring God Conference in 2004. It also comes with a DVD of John Piper giving his two lectures - good stuff!
Thoughts for Young Men by J.C. Ryle - general advice for young men, including how to keep your hearts pure from pride and the love of pleasure. Good for men of all ages.
The Enemy Within by Kris Lundgaard - a re-writing of John Owen's Indwelling Sin for modern readers. It's great concerning the power of our sinful nature and how sin is defeated in our hearts. Highly recommended.
