    Verses I Memorize and Meditate on

    Below are the verses that I meditate on.  This is the most enduring and profitable discipline that I practice.  It fills my life. Only by memorizing a passage can I meditate effectively, as I have tried to explain here.  I began this practice in 2007, marinating in a portion of scripture each day. I access […]

    Understanding Lust

    “I beg you as aliens and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul.” I Peter 2:11 Use of pornography is rampant in our culture and in the church. Incredibly, 78% of men and 44% of women in the US consume porn. Confessing Christians come in with only slightly lower numbers.  Sadly, […]

    Five reasons Christians Fail at Overcoming Lust

    “Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Believers and skeptics alike have grappled with this piercing declaration since Jesus first spoke it. While his condemnation of lust was clear, the difficulty of adhering to such a rigorous standard has led many to simply set it aside. […]

    Let Your Fountain be Blessed

    Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. (Proverbs 5:15) At first reading, the meaning of this verse seems clear enough. Using images of a cistern and a well to describe your wife, the point is that you are to draw pleasure (water) only from her. Frankly, this interpretation is flawed. […]

    Bring Back Lust

    Bring Back Lust Have you noticed that the word “lust” is being purged from the Bible? The Greek word for lust (epithemia) points to inner sin thirty-four times in the New Testament.  In the vast majority of these places it has traditionally been properly translated as “lust” or the archaic and more precise word, “concupiscence.” […]

Overcoming Lust
by Jim Vander Spek

Overcoming Lust was written for you if you are struggling with sexual sin or if you know someone who is. It is also a valuable resource for pastors or leaders.

Practical Help and Biblical Truth to Live in Purity

I encourage you also to consider the various articles on this site (see menu above). Most of these were prayerfully and carefully crafted blog posts created over a three year period some years ago.  Among them are real life stories from those who are living in victory. I am indebted to a good friend who skillfully matched these posts to fitting-often gripping-graphics.

It is a continuing blessing to hear from the many, from all over the world, who have seen their lives transformed as they have begun to gain victory in their lives. If this includes you, we would love to hear from you.

How to Overcome Lust? VIM approach.

01.

VISION
How does one overcome lust?  Do you “know how to” do it?

02.

Intention
Intention is all about how we exercise our “will”—we do what we intend to do.

03.

Means (for Some)
We are not all in the same place.  Some—I dare say, many—already know and do what is needed.

04.

Means (for Others)
God has provided the means of escape.  He intends for you to become free.

The following endorsements are for the book Overcoming Lust:

Margaret Nelson

I was very impressed with this book, as it is so tastefully done; it could be used by anyone enslaved to any sin.

Pastor Paul Grimes

As one who has counseled many men and their wives who are going through, or have gone through, infidelity, pornography obsession, and various other sexual sins, this book by Jim is a breath of fresh air.

Pastor Pat Kenney

Jim demonstrates biblically and practically that victory is possible, while systematically explaining the tools—the weapons if you will—that can lead the believer who is battling evil desires into victory and a walk of righteousness.

Pastor Jeff Jackson

…before you even finishing reading, I believe you’ll rejoice along with me at this latest expression of God’s grace towards His people….especially men of God!

Mike Yorkey

If you’ve been looking for ways to combat those “sexual buzzes” that come your way–and sometimes that’s nearly impossible to escape living in this sexualized culture, then get a copy of Jim’s book today.

Dr. Kelly O’Donnell

Be encouraged and be transformed! This is the hope-filled message which Jim Vander Spek resolutely presents for those desiring sexual healing and healthy sexuality…
