Pornography and the Door to Hell

The Devil has been working hard to destroy the family, starting with the man--the head of the household. This article is going to point out certain things that can help you and yours overcome this great lure and trap that Satan has created to lure men (and women) into destruction.

A poll by the Barna group discovered that 77 percent of “Christian men” between 18 and 30-years-old viewed pornography at least once per month (1); 64 percent of “Christian men” of various ages viewed it at that same rate (2); and 65 percent of non-Christian men admitted to looking at pornography “at least once a month” (2). Also, 15 percent of “Christian women” and 30 percent of non-Christian women viewed pornography at least once per month (2).

These statistics should be alarming and they show the moral condition of America. The number of men and women viewing pornography has increased since the internet came into being. Before, it was harder to access. Now, anyone can find it easily. This is the danger people face each day. There is a solution to this problem, but it may not be what many want to hear.

SATAN’S DECEPTION

God created men and women in God’s image. God created them with the desire to marry and bear children, who they would raise to worship God. Along came Satan the deceiver. The Devil wanted to keep men and women from having a good personal relationship with the loving, Holy God. Satan tempted Adam and Eve with sin and power, using the words, “…Yea, hath God said,…” (see Genesis3). The Devil plants doubts into our minds. Satan wants us to doubt God’s word and doubt what Jesus Christ said.

Jesus Christ said that Satan is the father of lies. Jesus told the wicked Pharisees…

John 8:44: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Satan cannot tell anyone the truth without putting a distortion on it to use it out of context—or, to add a clever lie to the truth to make the truth a powerful deception. Watch out for his traps!

“That woman is really attractive,” a demon whispers to a man. Another demon says to a woman, “That man over there is so handsome and your husband is so busy. He doesn’t have time for you…” An urge to sin tugs at the person being tempted. In such a situation, we must look to Jesus (if we know Him) and cry out for deliverance from temptation. Then, we must confront the attack head on.

We will present some powerful solutions that I (this author) have found to be very effective against temptation. It may help to look at a scenario through a series of steps one can follow to get spiritual victory. We will try to be concise.
