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.
