Matthew 5:28

John Stonestreet of Breakpoint says, "You might want to sit down for this—Barna [Polling Group recently] found that 64 percent of American men and 20 percent of women view pornography at least monthly. And for Christian men, that number is 55 percent."
More than half of even Christian men. It's an epidemic that is cheapening real relationships, establishing unrealistic expectations, and destroying marriages. And even a notorious bad boy comedian recognizes the destruction.

In Christ's Love,
a guy who is vulnerable
... because that's
the world we live in
and the flesh we live in
