Purity Ministries

- Prone to sexual addiction and more pornography

- A decreased satisfaction to normal sexual pleasures

- Brain chemistry changes. Scientist are now beginning to document and prove that prolonged exposure to pornography does indeed begin to change the brain chemistry and alter the pleasure centers of the brain.

James 4:1-2- what causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. People that become involved in pornography are always looking for what they do not have and it never comes. These desires never cease and that is why most soft-porn viewers end up looking at hard-core porn. The satisfaction they are seeking will not be found in porn addiction but in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus made it clear in Matthew 5:28 That if you even look upon another person with lust in heart, it becomes the same as actually physically being with them. Pornography is this way, it is purely driven from lust.

I created this ladder of abuse to show that people who have been abused and are still   struggling with sexual sin more times than not are below the abuse line. They are operating either out of hurt, anger, or both. So the main problem these people are facing is NOT the actual sinning through sexual impurity. The problem is the that abuse they have suffered in their lives has not been surrendered to God for healing. Most people who become alcoholics are really using alcohol to mask a bigger problem that has never been properly dealt with. I don't want to go any further until we discuss overcoming the abuse. The past abuse has been allowed to influence your behaviors and actions for far too long.
