Pornography or purity? This is a question that we all must answer for ourselves. It’s a pivotal choice that shapes not only our present but also our future. In this world filled with temptations, the devil may indeed lure us toward sexual sin through the allure of pornography. Yet, deep down within each one of us lies an inherent power – the power to make decisions and choose what aligns with our values. We possess free will and free choice, enabling us to determine whether we want to indulge in fleeting desires or embark on a journey toward purity. Embrace this moment as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery; revel in the strength it takes to defy societal norms and embrace inner virtue. Remember, you are capable of extraordinary things simply by making choices aligned with the deepest beliefs that you find in God.

God has given us the power to decide what we do with our lives, and if you want to live a life of purity, then know that He will be there every step of the way. Of course, it won’t be easy – temptation comes at us from all angles. But remember: when faced with temptation, call on Jesus’ name because He hears your pleas. The best defense against sexual sin such as pornography is to avoid it either before it tempts you or flee from it if you have fallen into its grip. So let me ask again: pornography or purity? The choice is yours – but know that wherever you stand now, there’s always hope for change towards goodness and righteousness! The question is, what is your decision? If a man says he has never once had an inappropriate sexual thought provoked by pornography or the inappropriately dressed women in our society, then you know he is not being honest with you. The best defense against sexual sin such as pornography is to avoid it either before it tempts you, or if you have become tempted, flee from the temptation! ~ Bill Greguska

Psalm 51:10-12  Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.

Pornography Or Purity! Real Love And Pornography Are Not The Same!What is love? NeedEncouragement.com

Every man is exposed daily to sexually laced media such as cable TV, TV commercials, the Internet, cell phones, magazines, billboards, and a culture that has turned away from moral decency in dress.

Out of all the men in our churches, almost 70% have a problem with pornography to some degree. In our society, we have to make that choice. It is a natural choice for some; for others, it is not so easy for whatever reason. Sex is in the brain. The brain is powerful enough to do either good or evil; your choice must be pornography or purity.

How To Quit Porn? / Pornography Or Purity?


 

God’s Way ~ Or Satan’s Way?

God intended sex to be a beautiful thing between one man and one woman to keep the world populated. Our sinful world has attempted to change what God meant for good. Here are a couple of definitions of how sex has gotten distorted and sinful.

Definition of debauchery = extreme indulgence in bodily pleasures and especially sexual pleasures: behavior involving sex, drugs, alcohol, etc., that is often considered immoral

Definition of lewd = crude and offensive in a sexual way. “she began to gyrate to the music and sing a lewd song.”

Definition of lascivious = filled with or showing sexual desire: lewd, lustful, lascivious acts/thoughts

Start Your Fight Against Pornography!

  1. Admit you have a problem with porn and get help.
  2. Invite trusted friends to speak into your life, hold you accountable, and encourage you.
  3. Online accountability. Use software to check your online activity. Covenant Eyes is an excellent resource for men.
  4. Set boundaries on your mobile device. Guard your eyes and guard your mind.
  5. If you have offline pornography at your disposal, destroy it.
  6. Take all forms of media seriously.
  7. If you are married, take a step back and consider your marriage.
  8. Realize that you didn’t just become addicted to porn. That long stare at a woman walking by, or the double-take at the lady you just walked by.
  9. Please take a second and think beyond the images or videos you’re watching. Remember that this is a person, a real woman, a human being created by God, just like you. She’s somebody’s daughter, sister, or even mother.
  10. Your pornography addiction is a heart issue first. It’s an idolatry issue. You are exchanging the truth for a lie. Also, you are voluntarily placing your affections on the cheap thrills that are ultimately fleeting and leave you feeling worthless. And not to mention that you were created for God by God. Your desires were meant to be focused on honoring Him. Ask God to help you every time you are tempted.

What Does The Bible Say About Pornography Or Purity?

The Seventh Of The Ten Commandments is “You shall not commit adultery.” According to God’s standards in the Bible, if you’ve ever looked at another person with lustful thoughts, that makes you an “adulterer.”

Jesus said, “You have heard it said, You shall not commit adultery: But I say to you, that whoever looks on a woman to lust after she has committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

Jesus said it would be better for you to be blind and go to Heaven than for your eye to cause you to sin and end up in Hell (Matthew 5:29).

God’s word says that every secret sin is laid bare before the holy eyes of God. God will punish all adulterers and fornicators (those who have sex before marriage). God judges our secret thoughts and every deed done in darkness. When your time is done here on earth, will you be found to be guilty or innocent?
