Lust?
I once saw a private survey of what they struggled with most with results seem to show like 80 to 90% confessed what they struggle with most was lust.
How many here have had the same struggle? If you overcame what did you do or not do?
This referring to sexual lust or wandering eyes.

I'm extremely surprised that this thread doesn't have a few dozen replies already!

Very true! Many churches do Celebrate Recovery.

100%. Theoretically, we should be able to confess our faults one to another.....but, too many people have been burned by doing that, and also it seems that Apostolics are encouraged to put on a facade that everything is ok.......
