Porn Again

The following is from an article I read last night while researching Christians and pornography. I know what you’re thinking: “Research, you say?”

No, really. Seriously. Research. And I even told the beautiful and charming Susan know what I was doing (as I give account when ever there is extended activity on my computer)

She said, “Research, you say? I know what happens when you ‘research’ porn, Mr. Mondok.”

“No, really, Honey. Seriously. Research. I’m writing some stuff on my blog. And also I have that men’s addiction class on Thursdays now,” says me.

“Okay, Mr. Blogger.”

The beautiful and charming Susan and one other accountability partner get reports of everything I do on the internet. Covenant Eyes provides that service for me. Why? The stats below nail me and probably you. Let me know what you think.

Porn Again
• A 2003 survey from Internet Filter Review reported that 47 percent of Christians admit pornography is a major problem in their homes.
• An internet survey conducted by Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in 2002 found 30 percent of 6,000 pastors had viewed internet porn in the last 30 days.
• A Christianity Today Leadership Survey in 2001 reported 37 percent of pastors have viewed internet porn.
• Family Safe Media reports 53 percent of men belonging to the Christian organization Promise Keepers visit porn sites every week.
• One in seven calls to Focus on the Family's Pastoral Care Hotline is related to internet pornography.
• Today's Christian Woman in 2003 found that one in six women, including Christians, struggles with pornography addiction.

Psalm 119:37 "Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word."
