strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Romans 13:10*
Love does no harm to its
neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the
law.
Question
How can we do no harm in
regard to pornography?
Practical
help
Some adventurous
Christians may have actually prayed for porn stars.
Well and good. But how many of us have changed our
lives to make theirs better? Even fewer still.
Many of the actors and actresses
who come out of the pornography industry tell tales
off Neronian depravity: of pimps, drugs, pain, STDs,
blood and even death. And our money helps make these
evils profitable.
Even though we're not
responsible for the wrong choices made by others, our
actions support a system that we abhor. Though we may
be off the moral hook, why should we make it possible
for pornographers to victimize others?
Or as the apostle Paul would put
it, "Love does no harm to its neighbor." Fulfill the
law by shunning pornography.
