Do I Want "Free Porn" or to be "Porn Free?"

[TreyM]

Today alone 68 million people will use Yahoo, Google and other search engines to search for "free porn." Unfortunately a very small number of people will search for something that will help them to become "Porn Free."

Pornography has become a powerful addiction that Satan uses to lead men, women and young people astray. And unfortunately, too many churches, families and parents have turned a blind eye to the dangers of pornography in their very own homes. Whatever you do, don't ignore the following statistics.

Adult Internet Porn Statistics

Men admitting to accessing pornography at work - 20%

US adults who regularly visit Internet pornography websites - 40 million

Christians who said pornography is a major problem in the home - 47%

Adults admitting to Internet sexual addiction - 10%

Breakdown of male/female visitors to pornography sites - 72% male - 28% female

"I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me." ~Psalm 103:3

It's an epidemic. It's effect has reached into the very heart of the Believers lifestyle where many a man at Bible College preparing for a life of serving His flock in Ministry, is battling in himself, the struggle to use the net for study purposes or free porn. This subject of porn was discussed in a sermon at my Church and it hit home that there are plenty of porn uses within God's Family. satan once again is attacking another aspect of something that is pure and special from God(sex) and destroying it AND twisting it with his lies to make it seem ok. His lie is...."Hey you are a hetro male looking at naked women, you are normal with normal urges..it's all GOOD!".... Liar, Thief and Destroyer.

Honestly, I don't think porn is any more addictive than food, television shows, narcotics...it all depends on the person.

The enemy will take the time to get to know us and find out what our weakness is and he will PREY on that...no matter what your weakness is. He will take the time that you would normally honour and love God and replace it with a nasty addiction, and addiction of which he knows will tear you apart.

Porn is a sensitive one because it has the ability to affect more than a few people: The person who's addicted, their spouse or partner, their relationship with Christ, and their relationship with THEMSELVES. When you know you shouldn't be doing something you feel guilt- and that guilt can eat you alive.

But then in its own way each addiction has the ability to ruin your life as well...the trick is recognizing that it IS an addiction and making a COMMITMENT to change yourself. Don't let an addiction run your life- it's so much easier to let God do it.

Anyways...thats my 2cents! Blessings!

Amen sierra,

Porn is an addiction just like any other sin, and it is lethal to our relationships, and in our time for the Lord... it can hurt it just as easily as one who would rather watch TV than go to church, or go to a bar instead of spending time with their family... Pornagraphy, though, I must say, seems so much more different somehow in my eyes than say, being addicted to the TV because it can stay in your head for days, as with those magazines and TV is can make someone feel horrible about themselves thinking they have no hope and many times convincing men and women that the opposite gender is merely an object.... it is a sexual desire that is dealt with through the wrong means and as you said, it leaves so much guilt if one truly believes for it to be wrong, and it splits up families. I take back what I said, it isn't any different other than by its nature... sin is sin and the devil works in different ways. My old sunday school teacher used to always say "The devil knows your weaknesses"..
