It is time to get real about porn!

• 42.7% of Internet users view porn
• 20% of men say they view porn at work.
• 53% of Christian men consume pornography.
• Breakdown of male/female visitors to pornography sites: 72% male & 28% female
• 17% of all women struggle with pornography addiction.
• The average age of first Internet exposure to pornography is 11 years old.
• 90% of 8-16-year-olds have viewed porn online (most while doing homework).

Let me give you some things to ponder.

• Has your life been affected by porn? How?
• What are some ways you keep yourself accountable when it comes to porn?
• Do you have pornography-filtering software on your computer? How about your phone? Why or why not?
• Can porn addiction happen to anyone?
• When and how should married individuals ask if their spouse is using porn?
• What kinds of questions can we ask our children to protect them from porn?
Pornography is consuming lives as I write this message. It is not a problem that Christians are exempt from. Let's face it, if 53% of Christian Men admit to viewing porn the real number is much higher. Porn is destroying marriages and ruining families.  It is just a click away from your 11 year old.  If porn is impacting you or someone you love, and I am almost certain it is, then you need to check out the upcoming event:

The Porn Event is a 25-minute experience where people can learn more about the real-life effects of pornography. Featuring different options for men and women, The Porn Event will be offered from May 23-28. Visit ThePornEvent.com for scheduled times and more information.

The Power of One

One man or woman can make decisions to break an addiction that will change a bloodline.
One concept or innovation can advance the trajectory of your life by light years.
One act of obedience can unlock a wealth of reward that will pay dividends for generations.
One relationship can open access to a world of opportunity that you didn’t even know existed.
One word from God can get down so deep in your spirit that it displaces the build-up of years of frustration and disappointment.
It only takes one…

The above was borrowed from Pastor Steven Furtick, but I believe it is very relevant.  ONE decision or ONE act can change your entire life or the life of another.  You can can decide to give up ONE addiction that is holding your back or you can reach out to that ONE person that you know that no one else cares about and tell them what God can do for them.  Take time and think of ONE thing God wants you to do today.  Then just do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
