Is Porn Really a Big Deal?

OK, this is not what I was going to blog on today. I feel like Jude when he was preparing to address the church and then was redirected concerning his topic. In saying that, please don't hear that I think my blog is inspired text. I just believe that the Lord placed it on my heart to share on this topic...

Pornography is a huge issue in America, both outside and inside the church. And I have found that it is more common in the church than anyone would guess. That's for two reasons: 1) It's a "secret sin" and unless you get caught it probably won't be found out until it works its way out in other areas of your life; and 2) We keep it secret because the church generally responds with rejection and distance when someone shares that they are struggling in this area.

Breaking the captivity of addictive behavior, like pronography, was the topic I had planned for today. That will have to wait for another day. Today, I just want to show you the threat and impact of pronography. The link (below) will take you to a secular website; this is not hyped-up Christian rhetoric. Porn is a serious problem. I have linked this page rather than posting it here because I know that some who read this blog are very sensitive to issues like this. Please know that there isn't any pornographic material or language at that site. Finally, don't think that this only affects "other" people. This is an issue in your church, your local school, and maybe even in your own home. Especially if you struggle in this area, click through and read the stats. Then, find someone safe to talk to.
