11-24-2021 – A Word to the Wise – On porn

Have you found yourself in a lifelong battle with some form of sin? Have your ever wondered why no matter how hard you try the sin keeps creaking back into your life?

Perhaps it is because we forget that Satan is very deceptive. He will let us think the sin we are committing is the most heinous and cannot really be conquered. He will let us win a few engagements then it returns.

Consider please the possibility that you have identified and fight a battle against the incorrect sin. What is the outcome? You completely miss the mark and there is no lasting solution.

Example: many find that they have been fighting a lifelong battle with porn and wonder why it keeps coming back to haunt them. Satan would have one believe that the core issue is a moral one and so the battle goes on.

The reality is that often the true sin the root sin is not a moral one and so the issue is never resolved. It is sort of like killing the weeds in your yard. You poison them stomp on them, even curse them before you know it, they are back again. The only solution is to dig weeds out by the root.

The root sin with porn is not a moral one rather it is a violation of the 10th Commandment. That is a completely different type of sin and must be dealt with in a far different manner. Look it up, see what you can learn about that sin and then do some weed digging.

Want a hint? First, Exodus 20:17 then spend some time with Jesus and the parable found in Matthew 13:24ff. Now visit what Paul says in Colossians 2:21-23.

When you engage the enemy, you must avoid his battleground. He is the great deceiver
