Question of the Week
Week of 12/31/07

Q: Why would a Christian man be looking at pornography on the internet? I was doing maintenance on my husband's laptop and as soon as the screen refreshed there was an open-legged woman exposing herself with a man's organ in the frame. I feel betrayed and untrusting. We have only been married 5-1/2 years and sex has not been an issue. HELP!

A: I would like to direct you to www.freedombeginshere.org

In January, we have this brand new series coming out to help the church deal with the subject of sexual addiction and to help men and women break free from pornography.

Sexual Addiction. It's the secret sin we don't like to talk about. Yet it is single handedly corrupting our society—destroying marriages, families, careers. Even churches. A startling survey recently revealed that 50% of Christian men and 20% of Christian women admit they are addicted to pornography (ChristiaNet.com 6/6/07). Not just struggling…addicted. The numbers are real. It must be dealt with. The silence must end.

Freedom Begins Here is the only resource of its kind helping churches, families, and individuals break the stronghold of sexual addiction. FBH is a series of DVD-driven "Toolkits" designed specifically to empower churches and individuals to face the problem head on.

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." Galatians 5:1
