Summary

The reality is that porn is a very real people problem that is accessible and acceptable in a world that is infiltrated by a sex industry seeking lifetime customers. Studies show that porn rewires your brain, cultivates unrealistic expectations, normalizes perverted desires, strains/ruins relationships, negatively impacts mental health, contributes to sex trafficking, and hinders intimacy with God. Thankfully, Proverbs 7:1-5 outlines a good plan to battle porn and find freedom from this sin.

Key Takeaways

Four things to change when it comes to battling porn:

  • Your relationship with truth has to change.
  • Your rhythms have to change.
  • Your solution has to change.
  • Your vantage point has to change.

Discussing and Applying the Sermon

  • Do I believe that God’s standard is THE standard?
  • What do I need to do to put myself in a situation where there isn’t even a one percent chance of me looking at porn?
  • What freedoms do I need to give up for an even greater freedom?
  • To what problem of the heart is porn my solution?
  • What one step can I take toward healing today?
