We welcome you to the Daily Spiritual Growth & Accountability webpage. We know there is power when we are plugged into a close and deep relationship with Jesus every day. God wants an intimate relationship with you. God is the only one that can change your heart. Jesus wants all sinners to turn from their sexual sin and have a daily spiritual relationship with Him.
The Daily Spiritual Growth & Accountability program is for sexual sinners to gain victory over their sexual sin. We can't do it on our own strength, but with God we can do everything through Christ who strengthens us, through Christian fellowship according to God's design. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24,25
Later on this page is a Daily Spiritual Growth & Accountability form you can copy and print out for your use. We encourage men and women with a history of sexual sin to use this form to deepen their relationship with Christ, but also to spur accountability with a fellow Christian. Our ministry uses this form to provide spiritual accountability for men and women in the situations listed below. Church leaders may want to use this form as an accountability tool for people in their own congregation struggling with sexual sin.
Who should use the daily spiritual accountability forms?
- Churchgoers with upsetting thoughts/fantasies about sexual sin with teens.
- Church goers who view "legal teen porn", or adult porn that emphasizes youthfulness (e.g. Girls Gone Wild)
- Registered offenders who desire daily spiritual accountability but lack a trusting accountable relationship with a fellow Christian.
We understand the embarrassment involved in this type of sin, and your desire for privacy. However, God's plan for accountability is not cloaked in secrecy. We encourage you to use this form in a face-to-face accountability relationship. If that is not available to you at this time, we encourage you to begin the accountability process with us. We have established a procedure to safeguard your privacy while receiving feedback from this ministry. This procedure also saves Keeping Kids Safe Ministries postage, etc. so that we can use our funds in other parts of this ministry.
- Send Daily Spiritual Growth & Accountability forms by mail only: (Never use email)
- Send forms with a six digit or larger number (all different numerals) and we will provide feedback on this webpage by your number. It will be posted for a two-week period.
- You are not required to place your address anywhere on the envelope. You may use our address for the return address.
- Do not call because of caller ID, the forms are more efficient, and to we need to free our phone lines for church consultation and training.
What do I do if I have an illegal secret sexual sin with a teen/child or used illegal "child" porn?
God has a plan for you.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and future. (to get a glimpse of the fullness of God's plans, read v. 10 also)
We realize you are on this website because you want to change. God is calling you to take the next step and trust him. God will give you the courage to do what is right. If you have a secret sexual sin with a teen or a child, it should be you who reveals the secret and not the teen or child. A teen or child should not have to appear in court and testify due to a secret. A teen or child should not be kept any longer trapped in this secret.
It is possible that the legal system will work with sexual offenders who turn themselves in to avoid the ordeal a trial drags a victim into. If you are holding on to a secret, turn yourself in. God wants this to come to light. The victims need the secret to end.
Things to Consider:
It is extremely hard to do this alone. We encourage you to take someone with you. It may be a family member, a good friend, or a church leader.
Realize that any of these people might be motivated to keep this a secret. Resist that. It is imperative that you take responsibility for your secret sin by turning yourself in.
Seek legal advice.
Notice: Any communication to Keeping Kids Safe Ministries regarding information about a crime against a minor that has been committed, and indicating information about either the victim or the perpetrator will be given to the appropriate authorities.
Be aware that e-mail is not untraceable. But also be aware that it is in the best interest of all concerned that crimes against children are reported and followed up. Do not keep this a secret. It is in your best interest spiritually to tell someone. It could also be in your best interest legally for you to turn yourself in rather than wait for someone else to discover the crime and report it.

Anger/frustration situations:
Intensity scale:__8, 7__
I can't pay my electric bill. I had to spend extra money on car repairs to have transportation to get to work.
My ex-wife is complaining because I'm late on child support payments
Spiritual Coping Skills/Plan:
Electric bill: I prayed Mathew 6:33 Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about it self.
I will call the electric company tomorrow and ask for assistance or other financial arrangements.
Child support situation: I will pray to God to speak through me before I call my ex-wife.
I will call my ex-wife and notify her of an estimate date of child support. I will let her know I had to pay car repairs so I have transportation for my job. No job, no child support.
Boredom and what time of day:
Intensity scale:__3___
6:00 pm: Got home from work and had a voice mail from friend stating he had to cancel our tennis match. Nothing on TV so I was bored

Spiritual Coping Skills/Plan and time of day:
7:30 pm: Started my daily spiritual accountability form for the day
10:30-1130: Bored from not sleeping, but chose to do nothing spiritually for my boredom.
List your discouraging thoughts:
Intensity scale:___9__
Difficult day! I can't get ahead with my bills. My ex-wife keeps nagging me about child support and I want to support my kids better, but I just don't have the finances. Where is God? I'm sick of working hard and drowning in debt. I don't feel like praying because God doesn't answer.
Spiritual Coping Skills/Plan:
I called the CBN prayer counselor hotline 1-800-759-0700 and felt some encouragement. I attempted to call a church friend and accountability partner to go for a cup of coffee, but nobody could.
List your sexual temptations:
Intensity scale:__8___
I watched a Victoria Secret commercial
I looked too long at a co-worker sexually
I was bored tonight and looked at internet porn
Spiritual Coping Skills/Plan:
I did not use a coping skill for the Victoria Secret commercial
After looking at co-worker I used my memory verse: Proverbs 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
I did not use my coping skills with the internet porn and I was too ashamed to confess it to God.

My Daily Bread devotion mentioned about being an encourager at work. God gave me an opportunity to encourage a fellow co-worker today.
Sitting in traffic, I heard a great Christian song on the radio that made my commute an actual blessing.
My mechanic was a blessing to me today because he found a small problem with the car that prevented an expensive problem later.
A co-worker was talking about her kids being in trouble with the law and I thanked God I have some awesome kids.
