The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Defeating Pornography by the Infallible Word

We must submit to the Word of God to overcome pornography.  It has the power to change our lives and conform us to the image of Christ.  It has the power to bring every thought in captivity to Jesus' obedience.  Looking at perverse pictures or images is wrong.  The Bible does not explicitly mention pornography, but it does mention immorality.  If you have struggled with it, do not feel discouraged but ask for forgiveness of that sin to Jesus.  He never casts out any who come to Him by faith.   Trust Him to forgive and wash you clean.  Live in obedient to God's moral law that points us to Jesus.   It is not the end of the world if you have looked at pornography but it is a serious offense against God and His law.  Listen to sermons and have your mind dwell on the obedience of Christ and His atoning propitiation.  Here are some verses on immorality to mediate on that will help you in the fight against it:
  • Matt. 5:27-28, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery'; 28 but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."
  • 1 Cor. 6:18, "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body."
  • Col. 3:5, "Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry."
