I just finished having a booth at the O2 Epereience Colorado Springs and a couple of things stood out to me that I wanted to jot down.Once again I found many married laides that wanted to find help for the Christian husbands. This is common for us to see when we are out at a event. If only the men would come to the events and approach us with their wives! Wow that would be a cool thing. But we are blessed to point these women to “The United Front” course at www.settingcaptivesfree.com Upon signing up for free, they will recieve a lady mentor to help them through the course.It certainly is another reminder to me of the damage that lust causes in a marriage. These women have to suffer from many things in their marital relationship. Some that we talked about last night was the lack of feeling special. In a marriage vow we said, “I keep myself only for you!” But for us that have been into lust, we have broke that promise. And these ladies doubt that they are number one to their husbands. The husbands have “forsaken the companion of their youth.” prov 2:17Also some of the women shared about their husbands not able to go to certain places, the beach, the lake etc… for the obvious reasons. For all I know it could even be a Mall. What a bummer for the wife who forever has no idea what will stumble her husband. This is no way to continue. Get help and start looking at life in through the context of Holy Scripture and we will learn how to fight desires that push to go astray. Take the Way of Purity course at www.settingcaptivesfree.comI was very encouraged that all the ladies that spoke with me desire to stay with their husbands and continue to pray and encoruage them to seek Christ for freedom.One lady in particular has a un-believing husband, yet she desires to glorify God in her perseverance (1st Peter 3), knowing that in due time, she shall receive a reward.On another note, I’ve blogged before on the influence of Colorado in the distribution of porn through New Frontier Media out of Boulder Colorado, but what I saw upon my arrival at my friends house last night kind of blew me away…though I shouldn’t be surprised by anything now days.I got in late last night and as I tried to find ESPN on his Direct TV there was two different shopping network shows on two seperate netorks that were for adult toys. I have Comcast where I live and have never seen that. Both shopping shows were by different companies. Now I caught one of the shows at a opportune time. The ladies presenting were business like, articulate, smart, witty….why wouldn’t you want to be like them if you were a lady. One of them stated a shocking statistic that I kept thinking about. It was that 50% of adult women (not sure exactly what that means) use a adult toy! I was kind of blown away by that statement. I think she meant single women right? I really don’t know, but wow, even if the statistic was for single women, it’s seems the point was made that many, many adult women use them.And it was crazy to see how these items would get sold out! So someone is buying them. Now China makes 27billion dollars from exporting these toys to the world, though China has a ban on pornography in there country. Looks like we are buying there adult toys as well as everything else they produce.This brings me to another one of my themes….Not every Man’s Battle.The Church has to get this through there brains!!! It’s not every man’s battle, it’s ever human beings battle! Lust knows no gender! Why do we think this way? I wrote my book to help people see the fallacy in this thinking. http://www.amazon.com/Porn-Pastor-Beau-James-Ouellette/dp/1615660151Women consumers of adult material is growing beyond what the Church can understand. Unfortunately the Church is 20 years behind the times when it comes to understanding where the culture is at. Thank God for young people that help us understand where trends are at in the culture or we would still be thinking women don’t go to college, military or vote! We are sadly not understanding what is going on.I will continue to blog on these issues in the hopes that people understand that the more we conform to the worlds lust, we will forfeit (Agape) love and it’s enjoyment! Whether you are a male or female, we both are in danger of being duped to finding our own enjoyment at the expense of another instead of finding our pleasure in the enjoyment of another.There is so much to discuss, but it can be at a later time…Beau

Mercy for idol users… loathing!
And there you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and you shall loathe yourself…
Wow. God tells the people of Israel through the mouth of Ezekiel that there will be a day that they will remember the vanity of there idolatry and the result will be a loathing of themselves!
Have you ever been in this situation where you realized your depravity and thought, “I’m a mess, how could I!”
Well you are in good company.
I continually think that the ability to ‘remember’ our ways and what we have done against God is a good thing. So many do not even care if they are in idolatry. Our culture certainly does not call it idolatry, but freedom. Some just dismiss God entirely saying the is no existence of such a deity.
Regardless, the Bible does teach that this loathing is a good thing. It’s realizing that I am accountable for my actions. That what I do does affect others, even if they do not know what I am doing behind locked doors. Society is changed in good ways or bad by how I live life. To think otherwise is to live in a black hole.
Me loathing myself because of disobedience give me a chance to change. “I’m getting sick in tired of being sick in tired!” said the Chilli Peppers. And yes, this is good. Oh, that I would loathe myself because of how I have behaved and look to a Savior to help me out of this pit!
“Come to me all who are heavy burdened….I will give you rest!” Jesus promised this. I must be poor in Sprint, loathing my behavior to receive such a gift of lightness.
A Common Attack for those Christian's that go back to Porn
“Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain.” Psalm 73:13
The Psalm of Asaph really struck a chord with me this morning as I sip some anti-oxidants, otherwise known as coffee, on this beautiful clear and hot day in the desert.
I have talked with many who get to this point in their bondage with sexual sin. “Surely Beau, I should just give in…what’s the point, I’m doomed, there’s no hope.”
I find myself on those occasions asking them qustions like this:
Why then was their hope for guys like we read in the Bible? Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Saul, David, Solomonn, Gideon, etc… Can you say, PETER!!! (talk about a spiritual faceplant!)
For those in the new covenant who sin, there is this ever attack from the enemy that Asaph get’s here in Psalm 73. I can see Asaph today saying, “this culture is seemingly going about it’s sexual immorality with no real consequences.” It’s normal for them and I don’t see them suffering, maybe God is at the bar so to speak, taking a nap (vs. 20).
Have you ever thought that way? I certainly have. LIES! That’s what they are.
For anyone who has lived in the way of the world you know that these thoughts in the mind are not true. They are there to move us towards more destruction and away from safety. Would we think of doing this in other situations? Probably not. But with sexual immorality, we tend to not see the end result in those that we watch (porn) lives. We just see what is on a screen. So we like Aspah think, “the ungodly are always at ease and seem happy!”
Until we get our minds in the Word of God, we will continually be bombarded with this foolish and ignorant mind. (vs. 21-22)
There is always hope for those that are in the fight! I share that often to men that are in despair. Continue to get in the ring when the bell sounds, continue to get back up when you stumble and fall. For those that are of the covenant, we fight! We fight with getting back into the Word, seeking God, learning to enjoy Him more than sexual immorality and it’s passing pleasures.
There is a better world….There must be.
A response to Santorum's comments on banning pornography from me, a Christian
Ok, so now I delve into politics! Probably not the best choice, but do have a few thoughts on Santoruim’s comments I read in Today’s paper saying pornography has been shown to “produce brain changes in children and adults, cause the destruction of marriages, and contribute to prostitution and violence against women.”First, let me be very clear. I am against the porn industry. I believe it is a mis-use of what God intended for our sexuality. I have focused most of my attention on what I believe our sexuality is for in other writtings. Porn pleasure cannot fullfill us and I see John 4 as my proff text off this. The porn industry is established and thrives on the worlds God given desires for sexuality, yet gone astray. Yet this is not the only industry that thrives on this. And this is why I write this blog.When Santorum desires to ban the porn industry, my first thought is great! But then on second thought I have some hesitation. Why? What else should he bann? How about un-needed war? How about companies that are “un-ethical” (whatever that means in a world that believes in non-absolutes). Not only does lust desires lead us astray, but certainly greed desires do as well. How about banning people from continued saving of their money instead of giving it too the poor! Jesus met a man like this…a rich young ruler you might remember. He seemed to offer him a alternative to his comfort from His bank account. But Jesus did not share with him a law that was needed to force him to lay aside his stash. Why? Maybe God is not glorified when we do things because we have too, but because we see Him a betterment to what the world offers us! So you want to ban porn? OK, but what happens when you have a person in the government that does not share our views on the Bible and desires to ban that too! It’s been done in history before hasn’t it? When groups that support a Christian’s ban on porn get together to form an association with others who do not completely share the same views on all thing then who is to say that one day one section of the group won’t turn on the Christian sect of it and want to ban Biblical things. I mean the Bible is filled with sexual immorality. Daughters having sex with their father, brother and sister, daughter in-law and Father…on and on. I would not be for a group banning the Bible from society because of such sexual topics included in Holy Scripture. And what kind of ban off porn are we talking about? Hard-Core, Soft Core (there goes TV), cartoons that are revealing a little too much? How far should the ban go?I believe that there is a better way. Can we not regulate this industry instead of banning? Is banning things really the right way to go. Is that what will covert people? Does the conformity to law save souls? In 1933 Hitler was to create a movement of purity in the community through a ban on adult entertainment. Though used for his political doiing my point is that just baning pornography will do nothing for persons eternity.So I believe that regulation is nessesary in a world political system. Let’s move pornography away from those under age. I think what the cable company has done is great. You have locks that you can put on your Tv’s so that porn cannot be accessed unless you have the code. Even the names of the shows are able to be blocked, stations too! This is the right idea to me. I think it would be great if there is a similar system that can be done on the internet. I believe that there is one currently available though many don’t take it! It’s called a internet filter program (i.e. Safe Eyes). I like it that I have the freedom to regulate what my kids watch and don’t watch. This is my choice and I like it that way. If you don’t want something, don’t buy it or get a filter and put it on your computers at the house. Manage it! Check your monitoring reports from the program and see what your kids are on, then block area’s you do not want them to go to. This does take an investment in your kids lives. You don’t want the government to care for them for you through banning things do you (i.e. Brave New World- 1984)? I don’t. How about we become responsible to teach our children that the world we live in has all kinds of pitfalls, greed is just as great as lust. (Jesus seemed to really find a problem with prideful people over the adulterer and thief).How about we say something like this. I believe in the freedoms we have in this country, freedoms to pursue the things of God and not the things of God. I believe it is important that we regulate corporations and Business to have them marketed in their appropriate context or environment. This, “appropriate,” is also debatable too. But it is my belief that this is a good fight to wage in the political cage. It creates a place for us to make decisions and choices based on our beliefs instead of having a government tell me what I can or cannot do in my home. I do not believe that banning is the answer or a good road to go down.These are my thoughts for now on this topic. I’m sure they will change as I wrestle though these issues in my heart and brain and continue to search the Word for instruction and insight. May we not win a battle and loose a war.
Not just every man's battle
I picked up this report from the blog by Kaspersky Security company.
The Pornography category in the Parental Control system of Kaspersky Lab’s home user products is triggered over 4 million times a day. In other words, there are about 3,000 attempts to access adult content sites by minors every minute. This is confirmed by data collected worldwide using Kaspersky Security Network technology.
I am not surprised by this. But what I am surprised at is the consistent idea that this over stimulant sex culture is a men only problem. I would not hessitate to say that more and more women are finding there own joy in Adult internet sites too and I would imagine that this will grow.
If you were a woman living in the U.S.A. and grew up in our culture you would be thought off to go to college & get a good paying job. This is no different than a man. For a woman in todays world I couldn’t imagine any different. I never really herd teen girls saying they would like to live at home untill they met a nice man, then get married and raise children! That sounds so pre-historic doesn’t it? So if you or I were this woman of today working hard in college, striving for a nice paying job, why would we want a man to wreck it? Let’s face it dating has it’s challenges but marriage can be a total disaster for your career and from the looks of the statistics on divorce your right! You have a 50% change of striking out. In baseball that might be Ok, but in the game of life that’s some major risk most are not ready engage in. So what is the alternitive? How about porn? Now before you go off on me I hope I am getting a point across as to the growth of woman and porn usage. What would you or I want our daughters (or son’s for that matter) to do when in College;
A – Have emotional, physical, dating relationship in College
B – Watch porn and stay single
I think if some of us got down right honest we might choose B with our young adults. Dating simply has it’s price and that price is very high. What if my daughter get’s pregnant? Do I want her to give up a careeer to be with a guy she just met 5 months ago? And if this woman graduates colllege and lands a great paying job, dating just get’s in the way of the goal. How can she be financially secure (whatever that means) if she enters into the risk of intiamacy with a man and the potential for having children. She could potentially lose her job and her health benefits! And with a divorce being a potentially true event in her life, plus the counseling and medication needed to get over such a traumatic experience, the cost is way too much. The potential for calamity is too great, and so there is the alternative.
Put it that way and I can see why a woman would fall prey to porn. It’s safe in today’s dog eat dog world. Porn plays into how we value family in our society and in turn father hood & mother hood. A woman is not valued for child bearing, but for being like a man in her ability to provide. The gap is closening it seems. Men are not needed to raise children anymore and women don’t need men around for intamacy needs too. It’s no longer a man’s job and women’s job. We are one!
Technology has made it possible.
It is not just every man’s batttle the issues with porn, sexual immorality and adultery. It is a human battle. A battle against what was intended at the beginning and we seem to be further away now from a world that once placed stress in different places on men and women.
Jesus fought this battle in His day as well when seeing the distortion to human relationships in 1st Century Palestine.
Matthew 19:4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made[a] them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’[b] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?[c] 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Jesus seems to want us to look back to find ourselves out of this pickle we are in.
How to fix it? Stop porn? Then maybe your daughter will find her pleasure in physical people instead of by herself. Or, maybe we need to teach our kids that the way things are is a distortion of the intended way. Maybe we might need to let our kids know that we are are sorry for placing such a emphasis on money, things acquired, continued education for further gain of riches, and that being a family where a mom stays home and a dad works hard is where it’s at. Maybe it’s time to downsize! Maybe owning your own home and getting in debt is not the dream it was made out to be. Just maybe there is a simplicity and peace we are missing as we run around in this Rat Race. Oh, how what makes us valuable has become complicated. But maybe, just maybe we got it all wrong and there is a better way?
I am a participant & an observer as you are. We will see!
GCB on ABC?…What does it all mean?
As you might have heard, ABC is airing a show this March based off the Kim Gatlin book, titled, Good Christian and then a derogatory word for a female dog.
I bet many will be protesting this show and hence the network.
In my book, Porn & A Pastor, I discuss in a chapter titled “The Christian Community,” the reason’s why media like this continues to prosper.
Regardless of what the Christian community does say, we love our porn! It is in the statistics and hard to excuse our behavior. Look at marriage in the church! Is this a institution off God that we see as most sacred, as between a man and women, as Jesus spoke of in Matthew 19 or Ephesians 5? How about passages like 1st Timothy 2, 1st Peter 3, 1 Corinthians 11, Titus 2 regarding the role of women in the Church of God and society?
These subjects almost seem taboo in the American Church today. I believe we have conformed to the non-believer on our views of marriage, roles of women in Church and in society, and attaining happiness. It’s not just me that think this way. I remember reading different books while writing my own that recognized the change in the overall Christian culture on these subjects. It has happened.
Until the Church see’s it’s husband, Christ, more pleasurable than porn life (I use the word porn in reference to anything that diminishes God’s purpose for something), this will continue to go on within the body of Christ.
So if the church is not going view marriage the way Jesus viewed it and if the Chruch is not going to view women the way the Word of God views them, (or men for that matter the way the Bible views men etc.. ) Then what are we left with?
PORN! Porn is the overall way of those that do not know the pleasure of Christ. It is there only way, from a Biblical perpective, because they do not see Christ as the best! And because of that they go to another. This going to another is what the Bible calls idolitry, and this kind of worship is seen by our lust for things or people. To escape this we need God and His revelation (2nd Peter 1:4).
So when we, The Church, forsake the Word, we are right in Psalm 4:2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?
In my opinion, I believe that we in the Church of Christ need to look at ourselves. I need to remove the plank from my own eye regarding my marraige, sex life (or lack off one in marriage) and how my overall view of things are, before I carpet launch on those in Hollywood. (see 1st Cor 5)
And I do think that if we in the Church exalt and adore the Lord of Creation then ABC or any other network would have very few viewers for their shows. We would be with a better pleasure!

A Virtuous Wife… Don't forfeit this!
Enjoying some old tunes (New Order, Everything’s gone green), reading Proverbs 31, with a small cup of coffee this monring I was pontificating (nice word) about this Virtuous wife found here in the chapter. Of course I think of my own wife, as some of you might have as well and find myself very thankful for the Bible and God’s value on women.
But what I found my mind going to most was the idea that those in porn pleasure will not be able to experience this joy between a husband and wife, simply put, they have a perspective problem.
When I was writting my book I read Ron Jeremy’s book, “The hardest man in showbusiness” and recieved much of what he said. One thing that got to me and still does was the idea that he is lonely and would love to have a monogamous relationship. He sounds like a very nice guy and quite the romantic. He is a play actor as well and has always enjoyed the theatre and such. What a swell guy. What a bummer that through the continual lust of the flesh this oportunity now is slipped by in many ways and will be completely snuffed out unless he stop his occupation and in turn lust.
Just as R.J. has thought through this senario, I have too. What does it profit to have everything in this world, to be dying, and have no wife there holding your hands or looking into your eyes for the last time. Man my heart just breaks for those that have never expereinced the beautiful joys of having a person that is yours! Only yours! You live together every day, raise children and watch them play soccer. Walking your kids to there first day in Elementary school. Going on trips together seeing exotic places together in loving embrace. Fighting age together and feeling the roots of love going deeper and deeper. This is a Virtuous relationship! A man & a women togerher till death do they part.
See I know that I will get old one day… If I live that long, that is. And my nose is going to be long, my face longated as well. My ears will grow extra big and my eye sockets will go inward. My hair will be jacked, and my body broken. I will not look like a porn star in the slightest. But what will be of greatest value will not be my looks, or my wifes. It will be at that time a simple love for one another, that has nothing to do with our ability to be great in bed or what our bodies look like. Our perspectives will have changed and love have grown from looking at the outward to all of the inward beauties in each other.
A Un-Virtuous wife…Easy to find…Just as in the same proverb a man who likes to drink is as well. Don’t forfiet this life of committment. Don’t let love be a surface thing. Let it’s roots run deep! You’ll be blessed you did…in the end.
“There is a way that seems right but in the end it leads to destruction.” Proverbs 16:25
Training in lust
“Having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.” 2nd Peter 2:14
I would like to take the time to say something here that I think is quiite importanat to point out for us from the writting of Peter.
These false teachers had:
Eyes full of adultery – they didn;t have porn movies or internet porn per say, but they consistantly put themselves in places of sexual stimulation. We have TV & Interenet that do just fine in supplying us all the fullness of adultery behavior. How many times do you think you have seen Adultery being committed in your life? This is crazy to think about, but I would guess that most of us living in this 21st century have seen the ‘act’ of adultery hundreds of times in movies before. It is no longer marginal, but common. What are you and I viewing? Has it changed the way we think about the subject? When I used to watch porn, I would think, “hey this really is not that bad. It’s making be a better lover to my wife.” Oh, what justificaiton for viewing adultery over and over and refusing to believe there is a consequence in it.
They Cannot cease from sin – Here is the problem of viewing sexually stimulating ‘acts.’ It is addictive. We will soon be in bondage to the behavior. It’s not that we will not cease, but we “cannot” cease. (akatapaustos – unable to stop, unceasing)
Continued viewing brings us to consistent behaving, leading to bondage. We now think adultery behavior is the way things were designed, we have seen so much of it. My culture bears this out completely. Growing up I saw behaviors over and over and assumed that was the way things were done. I had to re-learn what I had seen for years and years. The brain is a magnificant sensory organ in the body, capturing images and storing them in our hard drive, over and over this happens. We tend to emulate those we see on the screen. But the end of this is destruction. This behavior really was not what we were created for, but a ploy of the Matrix so to speak, to keep us in our so called happy blindness.
Enticing unstable souls – This is where it gets bad. What is porn there to do anyway. Make money? Only one way to do that, and that’s to entice. To entice means to arouse desire. That sounds like porn to me. Not only porn, but those that are ‘in the church’ that continue in sin with no heart for confession to the glory of God and their own joy. I’m talking specifically about chuch leadership that has gone this direction as to not offend anyone, but has gone the total opposite way, enticing those to continue in a world of sin by not willing to confess their own adultery themselves! I know, you say that sounds hard core. But how many Pastors are caught in sexual sin? Heterosexual sin? Homosexual sin? Whatever the case, we will continue to entice unstable souls until we are ourselves no longer being enticed ourselves by the culture. Oh, I have a long way to go.
Trained in covetous practices – When learning guitar, I practiced. I did not practice once a week, but for hours a day. Now picking up a guitar and playing something takes no thought at all. It comes easy and naturally. How great is that? But what if it’s adultery, lust, sexual immorality? Don’t you think this too becomes natural to us who have been practitioners of this? We cannot just think the input in the brain has not changed the way we export behavior. Something is training you and I! What is that? We get so used to mediocrity in porn that we cannot see the beauty in our own spouses or a precious older couple that has weathered the storms of life for 65 years. Oh, we have compromised through a deception, our hearts have become hard. It’s like those that listen to American Idol singers never realizing the greatness of the Hillard Ensemble of works of Puccini.
We need re-training.
Kill your TV! haha – I remember that bumper sticker. Maybe there is a inner crucifying that we need to do within the church to find something far greater, or rather someone!
Jesus is beautiful…precious is He…1st Peter 2:7
Sex Trafficking 101- Thoughts on the testimony of Natasha Herzig
I recently was invited to attend a conference here in Tucson about Sex Trafficking. My heart has been pricked lately to learn more about this collosal problem knowing one thing mainly:
It is my belief that in defeating the un-Christlike desires that beat our brains for sexual immorality, we first must see the greatness of Christ and secondly (the reason I went) was to remove delusionment of the sex industry as being great for society, and on a smaller scale, us in the church of Christ.
I wrote a Chapter on this… “way that seems right but in the end”..Kapoof!!! Destruction! See http://www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore/book.php?w=978-1-61566-015-5
But for this Blog the conference did the Job at tearing down the porn fantasy land that we make up in our brains as we watch people “act.”
One of the testimonies in particular was outstanding. This nice looking 35 year old stood at the podium (introduced by a DVD of America’s Most Wanted front man) and shared for 45 minutes the most troublesome truths from her life from 18 on. First there was the abduction by professional sex traffickers at 18. If that didn’t freak me out enough, hearing about the physical abuse of that event and of her capturer forcing her into prostitution being a virgin did it! Can you imagine the hatred in a person to put a person through that kind of pain because they thought of them as a opportunity for gaining money! Learning of her heart change over the year of being in forced prostitution gave me much compassion on those that are stuck in sex bondage’s of all sorts. I mean why is it that some people are in porn (acting or viewing)? Why do some of us just struggle with that particular sin and others have no desire for such a sin? Seeing and hearing her share made me again see the incredible mercy and greatness of God to forgive. His long-suffering is great.
We all in a way have been sex trafficked…Someone is making money off our viewing and buying. But this lady had no choice…and if you think about it…some of us have seen sexual immorality since we were kids! I did’t choose porn! It choose me! How many little kids (6yrs old) you think woke up and went searching for porn images? NONE… Here she was a 18 year old virgin, honor role, church go’er who later would be so thrown into sexual immorality, even against her will, that when she spoke of no longer being bound by a Pimp anymore, still the sexual stimulation was needed (so she went into the porn industry), it was her identity and how she felt valued. She had something others wanted. They paid for it. It was emotional economics…Supply and Demand. But don’t blame her for this, though she was on film just 4 years ago (it’s 2012 now). This is a person taken from her protective world, placed in a world of hate, greed & perversity of the worst kind. Kind of like us who have been around the struggle with porn forever it seems. Children, innocent and beautiful, taken and shown images and actions that we don’t understand only to later find ourselves accepting those ideas and graft them into our own lives…to our own destruction.
She now is happily married. The influence of porn pleasure will be a continual battle for her. In the way she engages in intimacy with her spouse to how she dresses. These sexual influences in our lives rear there heads, the heart still breaks, the scars are deep.
I praise God for her deliverance. She has found something greater. She couldn’t just get out of the porn industry untill she found something greater, something better…Her value had to be found not in her ability to please others sexually, but her value had to be found in another who is greater, and better in pleasure than anything she had ever tasted. “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”
I think I got much out of her testimony. No matter how great porn pleasure might look, it’s just never can satisfy.
The conference did the job! Thanks Natasha for sharing.

How Sad!
Most of you have heard of the latest sex scandal that has taken place in Happy Valley at Penn State University.
How sad this is for those victims of such a act. I find it amazing that all people who do not necessarily hold to a absolute truth code of ethics now so loudly proclaim what is good and bad with such absoluteness! I hope you too see the contradiction of this world that so rejects the absolute truth of the Bible yet in turn has chosen a different standard for judging right and wrong based on the philosophies of men. Two men that have changed us in the United States are Sigmund Freud and Alfred Kinsey. Their sex studies and infatuation with the topic influenced many in the Country. Today we hear many proclaiming how awful it is that this happened under Joe Pa’s watch at Penn State, yet I don’t hear much from the Psychology department that uses Freud as a basis for it’s studies? Or how about the ACLU that backed the Kinsey report in having court cases that deal with sex use the Kinsey report as it’s basis in passing judgment on child sex offenders? Haven’t heard from them! It is one giant contradiction that is taking place. People are against this act (and they should be) yet
they reject the book that tells us that it is wrong and believe the books (some even teaching in the fields) that solidify these actions. Anyway…here is some stuff I recommend.
