| Anthony Weiner |
Rep. Jerold Nadler (D-NY) believes that New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner "should pull out of the race. I think he needs serious psychiatric help."
Weiner is a former congressman who served seven terms in the House of Representatives until he was forced to resign in 2011 after several lewd pictures he took of himself surfaced on the internet.
Since his fall from grace, Weiner claims that he cleaned up his act and is now a rehabilitated man. And he wants to show New York City and America the new rehabilitated man who's capable of governing America's largest city.
So the new and rehabilitated man, who's toned down the fiery, confrontational personality that was once his trademark, is now in the midst of another scandal. It seems that during his "rehabilitation", Weiner fell back into his old habits and circulated more lewd photos of himself on the internet, ostensibly to a young woman who lives in Indiana.
Unlike Nadler, I don't believe that Weiner needs psychiatric help. Psychiatric help is for folks who desire to blame their moral and spiritual predicaments on neuroses, psychoses, mental illness and other assorted emotional maladies that attempt to deflect personal responsibility.
Rather, Weiner needs to repent of his sins and become born again through faith in the crucified and resurrected savior Jesus Christ. Only Jesus Christ has the power to truly change human hearts and deliver men such as Weiner from their sexual addictions.
Once Christ indwells us through our faith in Him, His Holy Spirit begins regenerating our hearts and minds to deliver us from the sort of spiritual depravity that has ruined Weiner. The apostle Paul wrote: "Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God." (Romans 8:5-8)
Like millions of other people throughout the world, Anthony Weiner is a slave to a sinful mind. Since the Sexual Revolution began in the early 1960s, sexual immorality in its many forms has been glorified and promoted as good, pleasurable and socially acceptable.
In reality, it has led to the holocaust of abortion, the explosion of STD's, (sexually transmitted diseases) the rise in divorce rates and the disintegration of the traditional family.
And it has ruined the careers of many politicians, of whom Anthony Weiner is its latest victim. And tragically, he won't be the last.
Certainly, Anthony Weiner is a sex addict. His political career is toast and he's likely to become a pariah much like former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Unlike Blagojevich, Weiner won't go to prison for his indiscretions. But he'll be tarnished forever as a fool who threw away his career and ruined his life because he possessed the filthy mind of a fallen, sinful man.
As Paul aptly wrote: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
