LUST

We have a lust problem.

'Nobody is righteous in this area.  You aren't.  I'm not.'

There are 4 million porn sites today.
Twenty-five million Americans spend 1-10 hours a week looking at them.
In 2010 there were 11,000 adult films released. 
The age of first exposure to porn is 11.
Eighty percent of 15-17 year olds have had multiple exposures.
One out of four Americans will contract an STD during their lifetime.
The child porn industry is $3 billion a year.
Sex trafficking is now the second largest industry in the world.
Christian men who have viewed porn this week -- 51%.

We have a lust problem.

But let's not get too high and mighty at reading that.  Let's level the playing field a bit.

If you've ever had even one sexually inappropriate thought that you wouldn't want shown on the movie theater screen in your hometown, raise your hand.

(I'm guessing there are hands going up right now all over the world reading this.)

Nobody is righteous in this area.  You aren't.  I'm not.

We're in this together.

That's the very first step in this lust problem.
