It is a fair question to all of us. Has Porn invaded your life? My quick answer would no. I have never seen porn…..I mean I have had an image come up on the screen. When the “internet” was new, I remember people talking about hotmail…..so I went to a computer in the high school library and typed in “HOTMALE” ooooppppppsss. I guess there were not filters back then. But that has been the worst of it.
Now, I am aware that porn was a huge part of ruining my first marriage. I have written posts about how we get “soft porn” in our homes through tv and movies. But can we all agree that it has invaded our lives? I was in the mall with my kids yesterday and so many of the ads in the store windows I would consider too racy…..hello Victoria’s Secret….Abercrombie!!! What the crap is that!
Anyway, I want to challenge you to look at your life and areas you have let porn in…..pray this verse over everything that comes into your view….people, shows, movies, magazines, books, ads…..We ONLY want what HE has for us.
Psalm 119:37
“Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.”
So let us know if porn has invaded your life, your marriage, or someone you know. Lets bring this out into the open and talk about this. Let us be bold enough to stand up and show others that they are not alone in this.
Accountability is a key component in recovery. XXXchurch.com offers two options for accountability.
X3 Groups is a online based group that meets weekly at the same time offering personal accountability with others. This is an option if you are unable to find someone in your area that will offer this help.
X3 Watch is another option that goes hand in hand with the X3 Groups and any accountability. This is a program that can be placed on either your computer or mobile devices.
