Daily Topics - ICF Zürich

1. Be honest to yourself!
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
1 JOHN 1:9
Statement from the interview:
“God wants to meet you in the moment of your deepest shame! Don’t wait too long and don’t push God out of this
issue! Jesus knows your innermost needs and stands by your side when you are at “rock bottom”! At that moment I
understood what “Gospel” means for us!”
2. Don’t walk the path on your own!
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If they fall down, they can help each other
up. But pity those who fall and have no one to help them up!” ECCLESIASTES 4:9-10
Discussion / Reflection
� How does the topic “pornography” affect you?
Take enough time to share about this question (maybe in smaller groups).
The following examples should help to also include those who have not directly been affected by the consumption of
porn:
- consume porn at the moment or have done some in the past
- don’t consume porn, but sometimes struggle with “head cinema”
- pornography is not an issue in my life but “egocentric sexuality” (masturbation) hinders me from reaching more to
“divine sexuality”
- my partner is affected and I also suffer from the effects (aftermath)
- (more for women): I don’t know how I should react positively to “stupid” flirtations, glances, etc. How can I keep
away in a Christian loving way?
- In the past I was sexually manipulated or struggled with it in some form.
You as a small group leader don’t have the responsibility to help everything with their problems!
Encourage them to get in touch with the counselling in ICF: http://www.icf.ch/community/seelsorge.html
� For those who consume pornography there are some “measures” for the first steps towards divine sexuality
on the following page.
Application and prayer
Take the content from your conversations and bring them before God. What does Jesus say to your situation?
Proclaim God’s thoughts and His forgiveness!
If you have decided to take some “measures”, make some “accountability groups” to encourage each other and help
each other in the further steps.
