Pornography is a sin…
Pornography is a sin which keeps someone from having a full and loving relationship with God and others. It’s dangerous because it’s deceptive and destructive. It ultimately harms all involved in some way because it…
Goes against God's loving guidance, and grieves Him
Decreases the value of the opposite sex
Is a false substitute for intimacy, & decreases sexual satisfaction
Foster's guilt and dishonesty over hiding something
In dealing with pornography, the main goal isn’t reducing or eliminating pornography in someone’s life. Instead, it’s knowing that what God offers is better than pornography and gives true fulfillment in life. It’s also seeking His help in making positive changes for everyone’s good.

At 12 years old I was first exposed to pornography and it didn’t take long before I was hooked. A few years later, the Internet made it even easier. I knew something was wrong because the more I dove into porn, the more desensitized I became. First to God and then to women. I was angry and irritable, almost like a crack addict who needed more. When someone got in my way ( Jesus, parents, friends, girls, pastors, etc.), I hated them. Porn was ruining my life… in short, I was a porn addict.
I allowed pornography to wrap my idea of sexuality, which impacted my life in family. God has spoken clearly, telling us how to live but we ignore him. After a while, our hearts can become hard and calloused… taking us sometimes longer to sense God’s loving conviction. By the grace of God, my heart wasn’t too hardens to hear him. When you repent (Psalm 51:1-4) And turn to Christ, the numbness flees and you know his presence.
Today, with gods help, I’m on the road to recovery. However, I’m always only “one click away” from going back. We must make a conscious effort to ask God for help and have an accountability plan (See 1Corinthians 16:3.) I must hate porn and desire God above all else, having confidence that he offers much more than porn and loves me through the work of Jesus Christ. This can be a difficult battle but you can win this war on sexual temptation one victory at a time. You are not alone!
