Men: God Saved Your Pants As Well




man in jeans“When God saved you, That included your Pants”
-Mark Driscoll

I could tell you that I live near Orlando, FL and you'll think Disney World.

You probably don't think of porn but you should.

Orlando, FL is most recently, the greatest consumer of pornography in the United States of America.

Maybe you don't by that, the happiest place on earth being the center of smut.

Ask the women that live here. I did.

“I was walking out of the campus library one night,” as she began relating the story, I could feel my fists clench. I had no idea where this was going.

“I could hear rustling coming from some bushes nearby, and then a man came out.” At this point my heart is fearing for her safety.
“He begins walking after me, and then another pair of footsteps, and then I walk faster, then they follow faster”

I am silent.

“Somehow, I make it to the parking garage and get into my car. The men walk away”

Her university is infamous for its staggeringly high rape count. After that night she bought pepper spray.

When something other than God becomes the most important thing in your life, it will always change you for the worst. If sex is what you worship as God, then people become an object of sacrifice to your idol. Ask me about it, I was there, but God, in His Grace released me before I could ruin another person's life with my idolatry.

“They followed worthless idols and themselves became worthless. They imitated the nations around them although the LORD had ordered them, "Do not do as they do," and they did the things the LORD had forbidden them to do”

-2 Kings 17:15

God will free you from the weight of your sin:
1.just admit your wrongdoing
2.ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ
3.and the power to never make sex an idol again.

Let me know if I can help.

In Him,

Jean-Marc
