The seventh in a series of 16 “blog bites” answering anticipated objections to material set forth in A Way of Escape, i.e., the seventh in a series of 16 “blog bites” answering anticipated FAQs.
OBJECTION #7 (of 16)
Millions have been helped by accountability-based purity programs. And now you’re telling us that you have come up with an escape-without-accountability battle plan. Why would anyone want to try your new-fangled battle plan when accountability-based programs are already reporting great success in Christian (and non-Christian) circles?
RESPONSE
Reason #1 (of 2) for why the still-struggling believer might wish to go with the Way of Escape Battle Plan instead of an accountability-based option:
1) No Shame Factor: Most Christian men will opt out of accountability-based programs once made aware that they must spill their sexual sins in a group setting (for more, see www.wileygrafbooks.com/news/fresh-hope-for-the-83-percent-v2). Even if this were the only available option, most Christian men will still choose to hoist the white flag, acknowledge defeat, and resign themselves to a hypocritical inconsistent walk. For these men, the Shame Factor is simply too high. Too high for them to publicly acknowledge that they have a problem and seek help. Far more appealing is an option where these men need only call on the Holy Spirit.

A GAME-CHANGING BOOK HAS ARRIVED
In A Way of Escape, readers learn how to build a zero-shame, escape-without-accountability battle plan. Readers learn how to step up the degree to which they “walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16). They learn how to build a library of Spirit-anointed, flesh-diffusing apps. Apps that are uniquely fitted to them, and their unique Spirit-filling triggers.
I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
The still-struggling now have another option. The still-struggling now have fresh hope for discovering that long-sought-after way of escape from sin and temptation (I Corinthians 10:13). A way that—because it is wholly Spirit-powered—does not require enlisting the aid of an accountability partner or group. Truly, a game-changer!
