| Re: | | Fundamentally, it is not a "porn epidemic" (particularly among the Christian community), but an epidemic of gospel illiteracy.
I've shared this on SermonIndex before - here's Dustin Horstmann's testimony on how God freed him from lust and pornogrpahy:
Part 1: http://bit.ly/2fD8AmH
Part 2: http://bit.ly/2kgFOxg
He also once wrote: "The fact is, much focus on sin can be veiled idolatry of self. We keep looking to ourselves for something that can only come from Christ (forgiveness, righteous standing, Life to change) - something that comes dangerously close to, or is, self-worship."

| Re: | | Ephesians 5:13-17King James Version (KJV)
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. _________________ Linda

| Re: Men Around the World Are Giving Up Porn, and It's Because of This... | | Porn is nothing less than the tortured twisted result of what God sits back and does nothing about in this world. He claims He made woman for man, but woman has become the most torturing being on earth to man, I blame God for a lot of it.

| Re: | | Besetting sins are not overcome by doing nothing, fear God. Once convicted, one must decide to repent right then and there with all his heart, and battle sin with much travail if needed be.
I do not believe God will condemn anybody who will employ all their strength in an effort to obey His commandments nor those who struggle against sin in fear of Him. Don't believe this lie.
Nor should we worry if this is just a vain self will:
Psalm 37:5-6 " Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,and your justice as the noonday."
And if you fail, repent again, knowing that there is no condemnation on them who are in Christ Jesus (Rom 8:1).
But to those who are unrepentant, this is what the Word says:
Romans 2: 5-8
"But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;
but for those who are self-seeking1 and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury."

| Re: Amen passerby | | Amen passerby. If we sin we have an advocate. Today we need to live with eternity in mind. I am glad that a production can help men find strength in this battle.
Have you notice the regular networks here in the U.S.A. using Gods name in vein, the filth that fills almost every program. Even though they don't show nudity the impression is not left to imagination what is going on.
What worries me the most is that little kids watch these programs. Looking at my generation (X), how we raised our kids and now we are reaping the harvest of our children generation of UN disciplined millennials.
Jesus is coming.

| Re: | | I cannot believe no body has responded to 'single's' post.
Brethren, is there no body that can help this poor man?
Single, I am so sorry you have such a dislike for females...I really am. I am a wife to one man - for 48 years - who birthed 4 males, all married... I love my menfolks - sons, SIL, grandsons, my dad, brother...
So sad...you need help, sir, and the sooner you get it the better off you will be.

Online! | Re: | | Saints,
We have edited that post by "single" and he needs our prayers to realize pornography is a sin that he cannot blame on anyone but himself. God can give the victory. This is the same for all of us.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
