Talking openly about sex

Secrecy and silence are Satan's tools for fueling the power and destructiveness of sexual sin. Dialogue and confession are God's methods for bringing sin to light and for starting the healing process. Admitting our sexual sin can be embarrassing and painful, especially when it has brought hurt to others. Satan, the father of lies, leads us to rationalize, which keeps us trapped in silent darkness: "What she doesn't know won't hurt her that much," or "You'll be humiliated and never regain respect. We are resisting Satan as we break our silence and overcome our rationalizing and dishonesty.
