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.
