Do you struggle with lust
or other sins and
addictions?
To Kill a Lion
, written by Bruce Lengeman, is
designed to help men find the roots of their sexual
addiction. The theme is, “Men cry out, ‘I know it is
wrong, but why can’t I stop!’” The book is for both
counselors and strugglers.
To Kill a Lion
will help
men understand their own sexuality and what makes
it operate “out of alignment” with God’s design.
You’ll learn why it is healthy to be sexual as a man,
but in a pure and Godly way. Though this book was
not written for women, many are reading it and
getting understanding of things they never knew
about sexuality.

But God commendeth his love
toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Much
more then, being now justified by his
blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through him. For if, when we were
enemies, we were reconciled to God
by the death of his Son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved
by his life
(Romans 5:8-10).
So, if you happened to hear a
conversation between Jesus and
another man, you wouldn’t hear
Jesus say a word about what you
must do to get Him to forgive
you. He would show His nail-
scarred hands and say,
“Son, be
of good cheer; thy sins be
forgiven thee”
(Matthew 9:2).
There is nothing as wonderful as
knowing that God is happy with
you because Jesus has taken your
sins away. This is not just a
belief. Many have experienced
this and you can, too.
Even as David also describeth the
blessedness of the man, unto whom
God imputeth righteousness without
works, saying, Blessed are they
whose iniquities are forgiven, and
whose sins are covered. Blessed is
the man to whom the Lord will not
impute sin
(Romans 4:6-8).
Maybe you’ve been trying to get right
with God by your own good works. Do
you not realize that the bill is much
higher than your good works could ever
pay? The bill is so high that only Jesus,
the sinless Lamb of God, could pay it.
For the wages of sin is death; but
the
gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord
(Romans 6:23).
Well, then, what do you about this? You
have sinned and have a debt that you will
never be able to pay. You are a sinner in
need of a Savior. You may not be able to
pay, but you can pray. Sincerely and
humbly tell God the truth of your
predicament. He knows. He cares. He
sent His Son to pay for your sins—to do
what you could not do yourself. You can
pray something like this:
Thank You for putting all my sins upon
Your innocent Son Jesus, so that You can
put His righteousness upon me as a free
gift. I believe that when He died and was
buried, my sins were buried with Him.
When He arose from the dead, He came
up without my sins. I do not trust in my
own works or religion to get me to
heaven, but I now trust in the blood and
righteousness of Your Son and my
Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank You that He
is seated on Your right hand as the go-
between to keep me right with You
forever. I believe that I am forgiven and
that You are completely happy with me
through the blood and righteousness of
Jesus. I want to live for You forevermore.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen!

Is it something He will do, or
something He has done already?

have to do?
