Don’t Miss This Before National Back To Church Sunday

National Back to Church Sunday is quickly approaching, September 18 to be exact. Attendance will be expected to increase drastically, and small groups will begin meeting once again. As the church doors open, one by one people will start filing in, bringing their sins of the Summer with them.

Is the church willing and prepared to deal with these issues, or are we going to spend one more year skirting the biggest issue at hand? Porn.

Facts About Porn

Recent studies have shown that 68% of church-going men view pornography on a regular basis, and research has cited that porn use spikes over the summer months. Even more startling to me is the fact that in a recent study conducted by the Barna Group, 59% of married men have sought the pastor’s help for porn use.

While the topic may be uncomfortable to discuss, it is so vitally important! Porn has been listed as a contributing factor in 56% of divorce cases. Sadly, only 7% of pastors acknowledge that they have a program to help those who are struggling.

This epidemic is sweeping the Nation and is silently destroying families while the church turns a blind eye to it. A large majority of pastors are mortified to even think of speaking on such a topic, out of fear of self-exposure or denial that a problem even exists. The solution? “We’ll pray about it.”

Are you kidding me? Don’t get me wrong, prayer is a powerful tool to use. However, when your family is drowning in the sin of your spouse, you need more than that. Porn is an addictive cycle and only through the renewal of the mind can a man be set free, and that is a process.
