Students vs. Porn (3 of 4)



Warning Signs That Your Child May Be Viewing Pornography: 
Your child may be viewing pornography if:
  • You notice that they are showing signs of premature sexual activity or an unusual curiosity about sexuality.  
  • You notice your child using suggestive terms or suddenly dressing more provocatively.  
  • There are increased pop-ups, spam messages, viruses, or other inappropriate content on your family computer.
  • Your child has erased the computer’s history, if they change the computer screen quickly or become increasingly defensive or secretive, it’s time to have a conversation.
These are just some indications. Porn's effects differ between people's age, gender, etc. Some are better at hiding their secret than others. One common denominator I've found through my studies is that both Christians AND non-Christians alike experience guilt when pornography holds them bondage. I think Paul nailed the reason for guilt on the head when he said:

"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body." - 1 Corinthians 6:18 NIV

I also like the way the New Living Translation puts it:

"Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body." - 1 Corinthians 6:18 NLT

"No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does."

Think about it.
