Christian guys make up the majority of my audience and Christians have some compelling reasons to want to eliminate porn from their lives. It's in direct conflict with the teachings of Jesus. In Jesus' most famous sermon he said, "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Jesus equates this act of looking at a women with lustful intent as being the same as breaking the 7th commandment, "You shall not commit adultery." But knowing what’s right and doing something about are two different things. Christian guys bring some strengths to our porn free community and also some blind spots. I cover them both here and have some advice for taking action. http://recoveredman.com/34 The post 034 Hope for the Porn Addicted Christian appeared first on Recovered Man.
