Men and Women Against Pornography

My husband is into his 93rd day of "sobriety" from pornography.  He has struggled with this addiction for over 40 years.  A crisis finally "forced the scales from his eyes."  

• The statistics on pornography are insane.  There is so much free porn on the internet, but more money is spent on porn than the NBA, NFL and MLB COMBINED!!!
• Nearly every year, the age a child is exposed to internet porn is younger.

Churches largely ignore this problem, and yet 50% of all church attenders have viewed a pornographic website at least once a week every week.

Just stopping by to see how this might help me in my inner struggles with keeping clean hands and a pure heart.

I'm a new join, and like everyone else here I've had my own struggles with porn and all things lustful online. I have some great resources and good perspectives on this virus that has been destroying lives and families for a long time now. I would be happy to share my story with anyone needing some encouragement. If you are a Christian my message to you is: don't give up, there is light after the darkness. Take courage and keep moving forward! May God be with us all.

"The human heart is depraved and sinful to the core. There is no filter for the human heart. All we have is Christ alone to save us."

 

This was written by who I assume is a Christian regarding porn. While I understand where this person is coming from, his view is not necessarily accurate. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"

I'm not saying that sin is no longer an issue nor am I excusing the sin of looking at porn, but I refuse to believe that we are a helpless, inferior people in Christ. The Bible says in Proverbs 4:23 "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." Paul in Ephesians talks about the Armor of God. We are in a war whether we want to be or not. God gives us real spiritual armor to fight through this stuff. Will we fail? Will we make mistakes? Yes, but just because we fail we are not failures! To think so would be to call the Potter a fool! To say that you can do nothing but accept the fact that you are merely a sinner saved by Grace is absolute crap. Romans 8:37 says "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

WE are! You and I as individuals and collectively are more than conquerors, we are over comers! Yes the heart is wicked, but are you and I not covered by the blood of Christ? Once again, I'm not excusing sin, or attempting to bypass the asking of forgiveness from God and people who we hurt, I am saying that the victory is already ours through Jesus' death and resurrection. But we need to accept it. How in the world can we honestly love others, as Christ loved them if we consider ourselves fools and idiots who can't get anything right? Answer, you can't.

The porn industry is a big plague, but who here believes that our God is bigger?

I am far from perfect myself, but I have confidence that I am loved by the God of the universe, and that He created me to be me.

Charles, thankyou for your post, it's still nice to know that none of us is alone in this battle. we have each other, but also Jesus is always with us if we put our trust in Him. I find that the struggle decreases as we make right choices & ask God for the strenght to overcome the temptation. if we make wrong choices however, it gets harder to resist. I pray that we all make right choices, & give God the glory ! Be Blessed in Jesus Name !

Been struggling with porn a long time. Joined this group to get help.

I recomend watching and getting the Dvd Somebody's Daughter. It is a journey to freedom from pornography. It offers help to those trapped in it and educates people about the addiction and alot of Wild at Heart quoted in it. You get the story of four guys and one of them' wife
