Pornography: It’s War!

It’s interesting to look at the trends here at Crossroads.com ministry. When writing is published to encourage people and help them overcome difficulties, it is sent everywhere. As a result, many new people join on the various platforms. But when the message is a slap on the wrist with directions that go the wrong way, everyone is totally silent.

So I want to challenge you to send this to your spouse, children, parents, friends, colleagues and whoever, because they caught many here.

Let’s take a look at the picture:

• There are more than 25 million pornographic websites.
• 40 million Americans regularly visit pornographic websites.
• South African users are among the top 20 countries visiting Pornhub (the world’s largest porn platform).
• 1 in 3 viewers are women.
• 70% of men between the ages of 18 and 24 regularly visit these websites every month.
• 25% of all search engine requests are pornographic in nature, accounting for approximately 68 million per day.
• 35% of all downloads are pornography.
• 34% of Internet users have had unwanted exposure to pornography.
• There are 116,000 searches for child pornography per day.
• The average age children are exposed to pornography for the first time is 11 years old.
• 20% of men and 13% of women admit that they view pornography online at work.
• The average period of stay on these websites is six and a half minutes.
• The most popular day to view pornography is Sundays.

It is war! Men and women are bleeding. People are dying. People do not realize that they are being destroyed. Enjoyment overwhelms everything. People no longer care that marriages are destroyed. Silently, porn slides its dirty, sweaty hands in and rips relationships and families apart.

And few say anything.

Yet the Bible speaks loud and direct: 3 We too were foolish and disobedient; Others deceived us and we became slaves to many wicked pleasures and wicked desires. Our lives were filled with resentment and envy. We hated others and they hated us. (The Living Bible)

Come on people! Let’s make a massive plan and let it go. Let’s hold hands and help each other. Let’s be honest and address our problem. Let’s get down on our knees and pray to God to help us.

May your grace be sufficient!

Holy Scripture

Titus 3: 1-2

Reflection

Are you struggling with this?

Are there areas where you expose yourself to porn that you should probably be more sensitive to?

What can you do?

Pray

Father, things that have never been acceptable to you have become acceptable today. It’s very easy to stumble and stumble and think that no harm has been done, because I can’t see it. But I want to trust Your Word and follow Your guidelines and keep my life pure. Please help me with this. In the name of Jesus, amen.
