USA: pornography in the Church

In the USA, 68% of men in church regularly view porn. New research has now revealed that ‘of young Christian adults 18-24 years old, 76% actively actively seek out pornography’. These latest statistics show that the Church has a dirty secret. Chances are that on any given Sunday morning, either the person sitting to your left or to your right will be struggling with pornography. Never before has such a large portion of the Church lived in contradiction of what we believe. Jesus didn’t mince words when he said, ‘But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.’ At that point in time, adultery was punishable by death! If we don’t confront the issue of pornography, the church is going to continue dying from the inside.

  • Pray: for this problem (in any country, not just the USA) not to be addressed only as a moral issue, but recognised as an addiction of bondage. May the Church be equipped to develop appropriate programmes for all - men or women - who are trapped by it. (Matt. 5:28)
