Flee sexual immorality

“Flee sexual immorality” 1 Cor 6:28

God calls some serious judgement on it. The Greek word for sexual immorality is porneia, from which we get the word ‘pornography’. Why’s God so anti-porn?

Porn is very addictive. Being exposed to it gives us a kick. Millions get into a never-ending cycle of needing more hectic images to reach the same ‘high’.

Porn dehumanises sex. God intended sex to be something beautiful – shared in a lifelong marriage based on love and respect.

Porn turns sex into self-absorbed, shallow entertainment and other people into mere objects of pleasure.

Porn impacts our sexual behaviour. Visual images create a desire in us to try it out in real life. For example, research shows that most child molester’s rapists are spurred on by a porn habit.

Porn can scar our mind with shocking images that stick there and undermine personal purity and innocence.

Porn creates unrealistic expectations of real-life sex, turning normal, fulfilling sex into a disappointment.

Porn causes us to live a live with a sense of guild about our secret habits, leaving us in fear of being found out.

Keep your mind tidy. Your wife/husband is worth it.

Our Father
Which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory, forever, Amen
