Pornography is Problem even in Church

Pornography (Everyone’s Problem)

*A Sister wore these to church! Who was she going to see Jesus or YOUR husband?

Pornography is over an eighty billion dollar a year industry in America. Why? Sex is one of Satan’s greatest snares. (maybe the greatest) From Noah to Solomon, great men have fallen into the trap of sexual sin. The sin of adultery has contributed to more divorces than any other one. Adultery breaks the marriage covenant! Satan wants fathers out of the home at any cost. Satan knows the chances of children becoming a problem will increase when dad and mom split up. Satan also knows that if he can get a man to engage in pornography, he can lead him into actually committing the act.

Jesus said “If a man looks at a woman with lust in his heart he has already committed adultery.” There was a time when you had to go to a bad neighborhood at night to find pornography. It is so easy to obtain pornography today it’s scary. It’s on TV, radio, phone sex lines, on the Internet, in magazines, newspapers, and movies.

I realize that women commit adultery also, BUT the porno industry makes over 85% of its money from MEN! There are men that have not actually committed the act of adultery...but they are obsessed with porno. I knew a man in Dover, Delaware whose wife left him because he was having “an affair” with porno. He wasn’t having sex with her. He was however spending his time with Playboy Bunnies and Penthouse Pets in magazines. He lived in a trailer home and used the spare bedroom to store hundreds of porno magazines. Yes there are Christian men secretly viewing porno material! Satan knows the more you scan this filth the greater the chance you will act out the sin. Is it you!

David first lusted in his heart for Bathsheba as he spied her bathing herself. David was supposed to be on the battlefield with his men. Satan knows that if we are out of position or out of fellowship with the LORD we can be easily tempted. “Submit yourself therefore to God; Resist the devil and he will flee.” (James 4:7)

Tips on Staying Free of Pornography

2. Don't surf the internet alone

3. Avoid sexually explicit movies (usually R rated and some PG rated)
