The following is from my most recent book (Harvest House) due out around the first of the year. “What Every Man Wishes His Father Would Have Told Him.”
I offer this additional excerpt from the chapter on pornography in response to your “requests” from my last post. I found the criticisms warranted and agreed with them. Thanks S.L. I should have offered a few more paragraphs so as not to assume anything. This then is the very next series of paragraphs from within that chapter. For the record, the book itself is saturated with the message of the Gospel. The second chapter being entitled, “Never Move Past the Gospel.” My own personal subtitle for the book is “The Gospel and Manhood.” Point is, there is a larger context to the thoughts offered here in.
This particular chapter on pornography is born out of my experiences as a pastor at Community Bible Church, in Nashville. It is my attempt to make sense of sin’s insanity. Our church recently traversed the details of on sexuality. We pulled no punches and dealt head on with the matters of pornography. As a staff and elders, we’ve determined to take back sex and sexuality from the corruption of the world. We have developed a ministry dedicated in part to giving young men freedom from the destructive power of porn (Trajectory). There is a freedom in Christ.
I have wept with men (and their wives) shattered by the pain and despair of pornography’s lethal venom. As recently as today (6/21), I wept with a young marriage ravaged by it. I hate pornography and what it can do to men. I consider it a damnable lie of the devil. My heart is broken. Keep Reading....
