Ministering Porn Addicts
I had a great conversation with a distant brother in Christ of mine. We talked about pornography and Jesus' view on those struggling with porn. Though, Jesus hate all the evil things in the world but He loves those who struggles with them. Remember the adulterous woman struggling in adultery. Remember the woman at the well struggling with men. Remember David lusting after Bathsheba and killed her husband to get her.
I mentioned this before but I should do this again. Such a great reminder to those struggling with PORN. The neat thing about this is there's a service that monitors men (and women) struggling with internet porn. It's a filtering service that only costs $50 a year!!!
www.integrityonline.com
The xxxchurch site (anti-porn ministry) is:
www.xxxchurch.com/07
If you type in www.xxxchurch.com, you'll see a porn king and a porn pastor (anti-porn minister).. They're in for a debate.. And, to be honest with you, I'm not used to seeing all the words and labels on their site. But I know they're doing all they can reaching out to those hurting with porn.
We all need Jesus! Bring your brokenness before God and He'll heal you..

Good idea. This should also reach teens. There are so many duragatory messages on shirts out there. So with www.kerusso.com selling apparel such as hats with statements geared towards scriptual messages instead. For example my hat looks like Starbucks from distance. But then you look closely its eye catching, its says "Sacraficed for me" (with 3 crosses and color of seal is identical to Starbuck's). So Kerusso's focus to change our world with messages and gear them towards God. Here is passage from teh Message translation which is clear and helpful:
2 Corinthians 10:5:
3 -6The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.
Lastly, Kerusso is a Greek word meaning Hearld the truth in public crier, spread the gospel. With xxxchurch.com, I pray that this is performing the same approach. Instead of WWJD change the abreviation to DJWW - Devil Just Wont Win!
