It's in your church right now, maybe on the staff computer. Pornography has grown rampant in an age where the internet fulfills all desires and people yearn to meet spiritual needs in an orgy of sexuality.
In a poll of 1,000 respondents, 50 percent of Christian men and 20 percent of Christian women were found to be addicted to pornography. Conducted by ChristaNet.com, a popular Christian marketplace website, the poll asked visitors about their personal sexual conduct.
Personally those numbers are quite low. They did not say the difference between married and singles, however, I'm sure the numbers fluctuate. What's sad is two things, a) the rampant expansion of the problem, and b) the unwillingness for churches (particular evangelicals or are the most 'high and mighty' of the bunch) to address the issue head on.
Ever been to a series of sermons about porn and sex addictions? Didn't think so.
What can you do in the mean time? Perhaps an internet filter? Accountability buddies?
Pomotheo.com will post online resources that we have checked and tried out so you can add it to your resource list.
- Hedgebuilders is an internet filter that operate on a 'no-list'. We've tried it, it works really well. It stops 99% questionable material. If you're a missionary or clergy then you only pay 24 bucks a year!
