God, Gender, And Pornography Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Pornography is killing our men. The 2016 Republican Party platform calls pornography a “public-health crisis that is destroying the lives of millions.” And even the liberal New York Times ran an article with the headline: “It’s O.K., Liberal Parents, You Can Freak Out About Porn” on July 16, 2016.

Thank you for joining for this important topic: God, Gender, and Pornography. In an interesting twist of God’s rich providence, our teens are looking at this subject with a guest upstairs this evening. The Problem of Pornography is real.

When God Calls Us

Contributed by Joel Santos on Jul 15, 2007

There is no blessing in serving God unless it begins with our being personally reconciled to Him. Such peace with God comes with a sacrifice - the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the fourth time Israel sinned, and God handed them over to their enemies, this time to the Midianites (6:1). God chastens His people’s sins. The familiar pattern of sinfollowed-by-chastening continued in Israel (see 3:7, 12; 4:1). Once again Israel’s predicament was a desperate one. The ...read more
