Sexual Sin: How to use your faith to resist pornography

John Piper has a way to fight this particular temptation in a porn-saturated world.

Here is how to use your faith to resist pornography, according to John Piper.

According to the American pastor, author, and founder of desiringGod.org, Christians to need to learn to use their belief in God and the Bible to combat lust and other sexual sins.

This was his response to a concerned mother's question on how to raise Godly sons in a porn-saturated world.

 

Fighting porn with your faith

In Piper's words, "Seek to be utterly authentic in your own love for Christ, your own joy in him, and your own delight in his ways. You can't force upon a child satisfaction in God when it does not look as if he's satisfying Mom and Dad.

"Saturate your family with Scripture. Talk about it morning, noon, and night. Talk of it when you get up when you go to meals when you're riding in the car. Talk of the word of God, and seek to help your children understand it. Treat the Bible as the absolute authority in your life. Pray that the children will grow up believing that this book is the highest authority in the universe under God."

The theologian also urged people to pray saying, "Perhaps it is once a week or so. You skip lunch, show up, and pray for thirty minutes, just for each other's children. You pray that God would exert supernatural power to work in your children all the dreams you have for their godliness."

Piper concluded by asking people to learn to ask the tough questions.

He said, "Ask more than the brief 'How are you doing?' question. Get alone with them in the seclusion of a bedroom or in the car or a restaurant where just you and that one child go. Dig into their hearts, their feelings, their fears, their hopes, the challenges that they feel at school and with their other siblings. Don't settle for a glib, superficial, one-word answer."

 

Note: It is important to add that this advice does not apply to just parents. Any Christian can absolutely benefit from this great advice.
