There are certain topics I return to on a regular basis and, if you
are a regular reader of this site, you know that one of those topics is
pornography. I return to it again and again because I see the damage it
is doing and I see the despair of those who are caught up in it. My goal
for today is simple: I want to give you 7 good reasons you need to stop
looking at porn right now.
1. The Cost to Your Soul
I want to begin here: With the cost to your soul. If you are consumed
with pornography and unwilling to put this sin to death, you have every
reason to be concerned with the state of your soul. God promises that
if he has saved us we will gain new passions and new affections. We will
have not only the ability but also the desire to replace sin with
holiness, to replace immorality with sexual purity. If you have no
sorrow for sin, if you have no real desire for victory, if time and
again you recklessly choose your sin over your Savior, you need to ask
yourself this: Do I love pornography enough to go to hell for it? If
this sin continues to dominate your life, it may stand as proof that you
do not have a saving, sin-slaying faith. For the sake of your soul,
stop looking at pornography. Continue at Tim Challies
