How Porn Is Sidelining Missionaries


"Porn deconditions us for missions. It sidelines us when the nations need us."

Please read How Porn Is Sidelining Missionaries


Titus 2:11-12, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age."

Here are some quotes.


A newly married couple was "excited to finally have that coveted green light from God to engage in physical intimacy. Three months into marriage, however, the man became disinterested. He couldn’t engage in real intimacy because he’d trained his body to enjoy its fake substitute. His soul and body had been conditioned to prefer the screen over the real thing."

But grace is stronger. Jesus frees the captive soul and expands narrow borders of self-love. Grace instructs us to “deny godlessness and worldly lusts” and reshapes us into a people “eager to do good works” (Titus 2:12, 14).

These unharvested fields need good laborers who may labor long and never see the fruit of their labors.

Porn uniquely undermines patient endurance in gospel endeavors.

It’s hard for someone confessing porn consumption to look you in the eye.

The Son of God became a man so you would find a sympathetic high priest who never turns a cold shoulder to struggling saints who plead for help (Heb. 2:17–184:14–16).
