Focus on the Family: Show Respect for Women By Resisting Porn – Dave Willis

Author Dave Willis says men can show respect for women by resisting porn. Pornography is a serious problem for many Christian men, and it’s becoming a problem for women also. Dave explains how he was trapped by porn for many years. With God’s help, he was able to escape its clutches and now uses his own personal story to teach his kids to stay away from the perils of pornography. Dave explains how our culture has lost its respect for women and how regaining that respect starts at home. Find out more in his book Raising Boys Who Respect Girls: https://bit.ly/2Ey0GL1 —

Ephesians 5:11-12 (NKJV)
¹¹  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
¹²  For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

Job 31:1 (AMP)
¹  I DICTATED a covenant (an agreement) to my eyes; how then could I look [lustfully] upon a girl?

Ephesians 2:1-5 (AMP)
¹  AND YOU [He made alive], when you were dead (slain) by [your] trespasses and sins
²  In which at one time you walked [habitually]. You were following the course and fashion of this world [were under the sway of the tendency of this present age], following the prince of the power of the air. [You were obedient to and under the control of] the [demon] spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience [the careless, the rebellious, and the unbelieving, who go against the purposes of God].
³  Among these we as well as you once lived and conducted ourselves in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by our corrupt and sensual nature], obeying the impulses of the flesh and the thoughts of the mind [our cravings dictated by our senses and our dark imaginings]. We were then by nature children of [God’s] wrath and heirs of [His] indignation, like the rest of mankind.
⁴  But God—so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us,
⁵  Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation).

²⁰  Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies),
²¹  Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
