The warped portrayals of love and sex in the entertainment media inevitably rub off, to one degree or another. The unbridled exaltation of sex has been a concern of the church from earliest times. The moral laxness that plagued the ancient Corinthian church, for example, was a reflection of the immoral attitudes and practices of ancient Corinth itself. The apostle Paul's first epistle to Corinthian Christians urges resistance to that society's casual attitude toward sexual fidelity. We must be honest with ourselves.
Sexual temptation is common to humanity.
However, many Christians are naive about their ability to withstand sexual temptation. He learned the hard way that pornography is as powerful and seductive as any drug. Having taken the first step, his appetite for pornography grew more and more insatiable. It was the beginning of a downward spiral toward the eventual destruction of his health, his marriage and his career. It can happen to anyone.
