TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE OF PURITY IN THE AGE OF PORN

Today's blog invites you to evaluate where you rate on purity of mind , body & spirit.
1. Think back over the last week. What images or ideas on television , on billboards or in magazines you have read portray an unhelpful view of sexuality?
2. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 ... How would you use this passage to answer someone who said the following to you ?
.''porn isn't really bad, and besides God will forgive me anyway if I indulge."
. " there is no way ever God will accept or forgive me - not after all the porn that I have consumed ."
3. How does God view any type of porn soft or hard core ?
4. What is God's call to sexual purity and how does Colossians 3:1-11 support this?
5. What wise and realistic steps can you take to limit your exposure to lurid visual material either on the net or through other media outlets.
6. What about the young , impressionable lives in your care or at least your sphere of influence , how will they be influenced by your choices or even toleration of this aspect of life ...... honestly ?
7. Think & pray for a moment ! Do you need to talk to someone, pray with someone , take radical steps to maintain your own purity ?
8. When will that occur , even though it may be embarrassing , or uncomfortable ?

READ EPHESIANS 4:22-24
DON'T EXPECT TO FIND A TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION TO A THEOLOGICAL PROBLEM.
