Pornography is a big problem, destroying lives across the globe. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar talk about E.Z. ‘s new book which dives into this topic, with Oscar pointing out that it discusses biblical manhood before addressing pornography. But why is understanding manhood so crucial first? Our culture has distorted the concepts of manhood and womanhood, leading to a catastrophic impact. Men in the Bible fought for their families and the gospel on many levels, not just physically.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Men must confront this issue head-on. It’s easy to think you’re the only one facing this struggle, but it’s a battle that finds many. Sin is like a lion seeking to destroy, and it\u2019s crucial to be vigilant and proactive in resisting temptation. Some young men have never encountered this struggle, but once you step into that arena, it can be overwhelming. The average Christian doesn\u2019t desire to fall into sin, but you can\u2019t hesitate to resist temptation. Lust is a serious issue, a bedfellow of death, with the wages of sin being death and damnation. Falling into pornography betrays your wife, friends, and the Lord. The example of Joseph is powerful; he had the opportunity to indulge in sin but chose to resist and physically run away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Realize that God isn\u2019t fighting against your joy, but for it. He created sex as a gift within marriage, a built-in protection. Understanding God\u2019s will and choosing to live it out is crucial in this battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. The enemy uses tactics like discontent, but walking in the Spirit is key. The world often talks about pornography’s destructiveness, but it\u2019s more than that\u2014it\u2019s a sin against God. Recognizing God\u2019s love for you can ignite a renewed passion for the Lord. For the young man living a double life, remember that the power that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside you. Value the gospel, meditate on God\u2019s greatness, and remember you will stand before the Lord. Jesus paid for your sin so run to Him and obey Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Today, pornography is more accessible than ever. Men are constantly in the crosshairs. Don\u2019t believe the lie that you can\u2019t quit. If you were promised 100 million dollars for six months without looking at pornography, you\u2019d find a way. The issue isn\u2019t that you can\u2019t stop; it\u2019s that you won\u2019t. We are called to a pure relationship with the Lord. Engage with God\u2014read your Bible, use your spiritual gifts, witness to others, and cry out to the Lord in prayer. God is our source of help. This is a cancer destroying the glory of God. As you distance yourself from these things, you will grow in holiness.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
