THINK BEFORE YOU LOOK -- PART #2

Some of you may think that I speak too much about this whole pornography issue. Well you are right! Another one of my good friends just had to step down from his ministry because he was caught in the seductive web of pornography. These next few days I am going to share 40 powerful reasons why we should AVOID pornography. They are taken from a brand new book THINK BEFORE YOU LOOK written by Daniel Henderson, published by Living Ink Books.

1. I enjoy the pleasure of a love relationship with God -- Every day I will remember that the pleasure of my love relationship with God is more thrilling and rewarding than the empty ecstasy of pornography.

2. I fulfill my true identity as a child of God -- Every day I will remember to fulfill my true identity in Christ as a child of God and choose to live above the meaningless masquerade of a private porn party.

3. I experience God's provision of empowering grace -- In my weakness I will rely on the strength of His advanced "tailor-made" grace to turn away from godly temptations and receive empowerment for right and rewarding choices.

4. I enjoy my spiritual freedom to its fullest -- because I have been set free, I will enjoy the full privileges and fulfillment of my emancipation by steering clear of the self-imposed prison of
pornography.

5. I avoid a life pattern of deception -- I will enjoy the peace and prosperity of living in the truth while refusing to carry the heavy load of lies and the depression of deception.

6. I cultivate a soft and sensitive conscience -- I will cultivate a soft and sensitive conscience through consistent confession of my sin and resolve toward authentic purity.

Good thoughts to helping you guard your heart.
