Any and every time we indulge in pornography, we deny the precious gospel truth that every man and woman possesses inherent dignity, not to be solicited and sold for sex, but to be valued and treasured as excellent in the eyes of God. People are not inferior objects to be used and abused for selfish, sexual, sensual pleasure; they are equal image bearers of the God who loves and cares for them. We may scoff at how pre-Civil War churchgoers justified slaves in their backyards, but aren't we dangerously like them when we participate in pornography (and promote the sex slavery to which it is inextricably tied) in our own homes?

A Message from our Provider:

“The biblical concept of love says no to acts of selfishness within marital and other human relationships. #R. C. Sproul”

There comes a time when God's patience runs out (Rom. 2:4-10; 2 Pet. 3:8-10; Jude 5). Those living in continual disobedience must not presume upon God's grace, falsely assuming that God's kindness means that he is winking at their sin. Nor should we take God's forgiveness for granted. We must not sin willfully, thinking that by doing so we are simply giving God another opportunity to glorify himself by showing forth his mercy. As Paul would put it centuries later, 'Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means!' (Rom. 6:2). To do so is to reveal by one's hardened disobedience that the saving power of God is not really in one's life (see Rom. 6:2b-14),
