Pornography is a parasite, feeding on a person’s soul and eventually their family. It is a crippling addiction that will at least render a man incapable of leading his family, and at worst may destroy it. If only it were a problem small in scale…but it is not.
Depending on the statistics you read, 70-90% of men have been, are currently, and/or will be regular users of pornography. This is a HUGE problem with HUGE ramifications for our society, and the church is not immune. Unfortunately, the statistics do not vary much when the population in question is those who claim Christ as their Savior.
That is why beginning with this Thursday’s Band of Brothers meeting (1/22), we are beginning an important series called "Every Man’s Battle" where we will discuss the ways that sexual temptation and addiction can cripple a family and how to win that battle with the help of God and each other. The video below shows how the recent movie "FIREPROOF" portrayed the problem as well as a bit of the solution:
To help us figure this out, our special guest for two weeks will be Brett Fitzer, a Christian Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in this topic. He will have some material to and will then open up the time for Q&A.
I know the subject is a difficult one, but am convinced that is a critical subject for you, your son(s), or your friends to consider. Life Group leaders, please COME this Thursday and invite your members to as well. Please join us starting THIS THURSDAY January 22nd at 6:30 am sharp and see what God might have in store for YOU.
