In 2004 we wrote Living Out of Lust, a beautiful book that engaged the very issue of sexual addictions, its devastating effects, and how we can live without the stains of sexual sins. Over the years, we’ve learned that there is a larger encompassing scope beyond the principles of Living Out of Lust.

The key message for us that struggle with sexual sin (or any sin for that matter) is the closer we draw to the Lord, the further we draw from sin and the world.

As we exist in these skins of flesh, our lives may be faced with many temptations of sin, however, the closer we are to the Lord, the less ‘power’ those temptations will have upon our lives. (Jesus was tempted and was without sin - Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 4:15). This is one of the reasons for the removal of our book Living Out of Lust and the creation of The Beauty of His Presence.

Living beyond lust is not only about the lustings of sexual addiction, but the lust of our eyes and flesh (1 John 2:15-17). When we hear about lust, we often direct our attention to sexual addictions, but lust is ANY type of inappropriate desire.

For each of us, whether we struggle with sexual addiction or not (whatever it is), we must draw closer to the Lord. We pray you will take the opportunity to review our book, The Beauty of His Presence and look through the contents of this website. You can use the search feature at the top of the page to search a specific topic or word and read our various entries and studies.

For those struggling with sexual sins, please see our sections on Sin/Temptation and Sex and Relationships in addition to reading The Beauty of His Presence.

Lord willing, we will place our chapters from Living Out of Lust on this website. Citizens of Roam was a chapter in the book, and it is entirely different from its original reading. Its purpose now is to focus upon all sin and not only that of the sexual nature.

We can live unspotted from the world, and we do that by drawing ever closer to His will and presence.
