Summary
Pornography is candy-coated rat poison that harms the soul through arousal addiction, false depictions of sex, social isolation, and exploitation of real people. Rather than hiding in shame or accepting defeat, believers can experience Christ's blood cleansing their guilty conscience and the Spirit's progressive power to overcome addiction through community, spiritual disciplines, and daily choice.
Highlights
Porn is candy-coated rat poison for the soul. It's gonna taste good on the outside, but if you take the dose of that poison, it's gonna kill you.
Shame screams at you to look at your sin. But tonight, I wanna yell at you: why don't you look at your savior? Stop staring at yourself and your failure. Start staring at a bloody cross and a perfect savior.
You don't live in a glass factory. You live in a new gospel reality. Progressive sanctification means bit by bit by bit, the Spirit will put to death sin in your life.
