Study leader reference - not a definitive answer
Question 1
The host contrasts “creators” (God) with “destroyers” (evil men) and then says, “The righteous Lord loves righteousness; His face beholds the upright”; how does that framing reshape the way a man views sexual sin—not merely as personal failure, but as participation in destruction of what God created?
Another way to ask: If God is the Creator and evil people are destroyers, how does that change the way you see sexual sin—not just as messing up, but as helping destroy what God made?

Direct Answer
Based on the host’s framing, sexual sin is not only “my private weakness,” but lines up with a destructive force that tears down what God created—while righteousness is returning to the Creator who sees and loves uprightness.
- The host quotes the psalm: “For the things you created… they destroy,” and highlights, “they’re not the creators; they’re the destroyers.”
- He connects that to the question, “If the foundations are destroyed, what should the righteous do?” and answers: “we’re going to run to you, to the righteous Lord.”
- He quotes: “The righteous Lord loves righteousness. His face beholds the upright,” emphasizing God’s attention toward the upright.
- He frames Strength to Strength’s goal as “advancing God’s kingdom” by “exposing the lies of the devil,” implying sexual sin includes deception and destruction.
- The host admits sexual addiction was “part of my past,” implying this is not just theory but a real spiritual battleground.
