Running the Race:
Overcoming Sexual Sins and Lusts
Paul J. Bucknell
Purpose: Our purpose is to help you overcome sexual sins and lusts to live out the fullness of God's powerful love through your life. We are aware that the task is not easy. I have been there. It took me over a decade to get me into running shape. But it could have been so much quicker if I had a good trainer. I hope this Overcoming series becomes such a trainer for you.
Self-determination is good but does not work for long. Staying out of the wrong places unfortunately doesn't cure our hearts though it helps. Through this series we not only give you insight on how lusts work so you can overcome those temptations but perhaps something else even more important.
We identify and build up the biblical truths that affect our deep lying values. Only here will we find long term success in overcoming sexual lusts.
You might not be a Christian believer. That is fine. But perhaps it is time that you see how God powerfully speaks to this powerful lusts that has seated itself right in the middle of your life which is step by step destroying you.
Running the Race
The motif of a runner running an important race helps present the different aspects of training that is needed to overcome these sexual lusts. There are four major sections.

There are considerations that you need to face before you start spending your time and effort in running the race. You need to be serious and accept the disciplines needed to win. The problem is not whether you can win but whether you will be sincere enough to trust God for grace to overcome those destructive lusts.

Once you have joined the race, you need to start thinking of what is needed for you to win. Fortunately, God is there to help you in a grand way. As I look back on my on life, I stand amazed how God rescued me. I did not win by my own strength. The solutions I tried were only a small part of what I really needed to win the race in overcoming sexual sinful lusts.

Many enter the race. God wants you to be a winner. What good is it if you run well most the race but then give up or turn aside somewhere along the track? We give serious consideration to those things that might hinder you from winning the race.

In this last section we give advice for actually running the race. Some of these lessons are taught outside this particular curriculum but still are accessible here on this website free of charge.
God wants us all to win the race for His glory. He does not just keep us from our sins but gives us the freedom to live pure lives focused on serving others. I am still running this race. Why not join me and many others?
