Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Christianity Today announces that Sunday October 9, 2005 is to be “National Porn Sunday, exploring america’s dirty little secret” (sic). This “one day event” is “to bring hope to those struggling with pornography.” It will attract crowds of all ages.

 

“Those struggling” include too many Roman Catholic and Protestant clergy, and there are the masses. Pornography is no longer a “dirty little secret.” It’s the open plague of the “Christian” West--one source of the violent energy of raw Muslim hatred (which is monotheistic). Illicit sex, sex outside the boundaries of love (agape), has an alluring appeal to fallen, sinful nature inherited from Adam. Our world is becoming Sodom and Gomorrah.

 

The apostle Paul confessed that he finally realized that the temptations to illicit sex that he knew in his sinful nature proved what sin is. He “hated” the pornography of his day, yet knew he actually loved it (Rom. 7:7-18). Paul both condemns the hypocrisy of pastors’ secret slavery to it yet feels a brotherly sympathy for them as they “struggle” with it. The world loves to watch Natalie Holloway smile and dance in her much abbreviated costume.

 

God created us “male and female” with the ability to pro-create, a thrill in partnership with God Himself. Hence we humans can know a depth of iniquity that even Satan and his evil angels cannot “know” so well, because pornography plumbs a unique human horror of mutiny and hatred against God. Satan incited humans to crucify Christ; THEY did it.

 

The October 9 “event” will be futile unless it is a true presentation of “Christ and Him crucified.” Nothing but the reality of what happened at the cross can heal. The Son of God died the world’s second death--“the breadth and length and depth and height” of His love.
