I don’t struggle with porn personally. But, I know many do.
I struggle with the fact that pornography is something so few of us talk about. I struggle with how it has destroyed marriages, hurt children, and shattered lives.
It’s such a taboo subject that men and women don’t feel comfortable discussing their addiction to porn. Sometimes, not even with his or her accountability partner.
But, there is hope.
I want to encourage every single one of you to read Cindy Beall’s very personal story on how pornography affected her marriage. And, how God restored it.
And, remember, God’s restoration is not restoring something to as it was, but rather restoring it to what He created it to be.
Please, take the time to read Cindy’s story. Her transparency will inspire you and her testimony will give you hope.
You can also read Cindy’s book here.
We serve a God who heals, redeems, and restores.

Nice title, Dusty. You know I’m all about the shock factor.

First, I want to thank Cindy for sharing, i had not read that blog before, it was hard I know. I HATE porno too, & the destruction of lives that it effects! It is a disease, hidden, because it is a secret sin that some hide, but keeps the door open for heartache, mistrust, hardships. Thanks Dusty for this blog.
Over the years I’ve come to understand this subject in a new light. Sure porn is bad and it is harmful to relationships, but if you stand back and look at the underlying problem, you can see more of a bigger picture.
I think that most of us are trying to find comfort in times of agitation. If we weren’t comforted as children or didn’t learn self control, these things we lack will surface in the adult years as character problems. To get comfort we turn to porn, alcohol, food, other sex relationships, drugs etc. Each of these are addictive, but some damage relationships more than others. Each though is putting an idol in place of God. That’s why I’m always interested not so much in the surface issue as the reason why it exists in the first place. Get to the root of the issue and you’ll more likely solve the problem.
Thanks for sharing this link. I hope to do a book review of this for the Covenant Eyes blog.
For any men in the audience: I’d like to invite you to MenOnPurpose.com. The two authors their are experts in porn having digested lethal doses and returned from the precipice. Also if you’re in the Oklahoma City area you can contact us and we’ll help you find a men’s group to help you deal and wives that will help your spouse.
