It was an amazing transparent testimony and we were forever changed. Not just in regard to pornography, but in what is required of us to have a *Holy Home*. So many things we don't even question and that we have grown immune to should be placed along side the Word of God. Clay made it perfectly clear. It isn't about sex, it is about sin. It starts there.<br /><br />Great post!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183948350469153196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36356817.post-7006439577668106362007-02-06T07:55:00.000-06:002007-02-06T07:55:00.000-06:00A big AMEN to all you've said, Kelly!

We have been married 11 years and during the 1st week I was shocked about some of the things she mentions. Like, how even if a man is lost he will not stop and ask for directions. It is like a challenge for him to be able to find his own way ~ <br />Thanks for sharing this post, I was kinda shocked at some of the numbers ~ I am going to print out and take to our meeting once we get to this section !

I am looking forward to reading it. <br />Excellent post!<br />This is something that needs to be addressed head on. My husband and I have served in full-time ministry for 20 years and as senior pastors for over six years, this issue does not discriminate against Christians. WE must 1)Protect our families with filters on our computers 2) Place our computer in an open area where everyone can see what others are doing 3) Guard our homes with what is viewed in vidoes and television and 4) provide accountability for one another. <br />But most important we must pray for our husbands and sons. I have 31 days of prayer that I pray for my husband and on day 20 my prayer is: "I pray that my husband will yield his mind and thoughts to the Lord. I pray that he will not entertain immoral or impure thoughts, and that he will resist the temptation to indulge in pornography. Prov. 27:12;2 Cor. 10:5)" As wives we play an important role in helping our husband in this area. This can and will destroy lives! Praise God there is more and more help available for those who seek it. <br />And I agree with you, it is not just a man's issue.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this out in the light!Chris @ Come to the Tablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878659618561017060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36356817.post-72954039560577259742007-02-05T22:39:00.000-06:002007-02-05T22:39:00.000-06:00Susanne,

But there are a lot of things kids don't tell their parents (including pornography and sexual abuse). Good open communication and accountability is so important! I really want to keep learning how to best encourage our children to share these kind of things as they grow so that we can help them. I want to be preemptive.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694521143609595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36356817.post-4602592228222139422007-02-05T11:54:00.000-06:002007-02-05T11:54:00.000-06:00Thanks for addressing such an important issue. by...Thanks for addressing such an important issue. by the way, I didn't realize you are a minister's wife!Much Adohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034590806354970188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36356817.post-82204300100043285862007-02-05T11:34:00.000-06:002007-02-05T11:34:00.000-06:00Thanks for sharing this, Kelly.
