An intersting idea about Pornogrophy

Here is an interesting view that I’ve never considered.
A Sobering Thought on Porn Every red-blooded Christian male has a battle with lust. He is incessantly bombarded from every side with explicit imagery. But when a man surrenders to the sin, we often hear a phrase like "He has an addiction to pornography." However, his addiction isn't to pornography. It's to "adultery." That's what we do every time we look with lust (see Matthew 5:27-28), and the root cause of someone who keeps going back to adultery is "idolatry." There is a concept of God in his mind that doesn't produce the fear of the Lord. So, make sure you flee from idolatry, and you will fortify yourself against sexual infidelity. Make the God who revealed Himself in Scripture your "accountability Partner." Do that, and you won't have an addiction to adultery.
