The Decomposition of America - What with all the portable computer devices now available from IPod to Sony Playstation Portable to Cell Phones, all of which are equipped to play video, it shouldn't come as any surprise that pornography purveyors are now scrambling to make use of them.
And don't expect the companies who make these devices to do much to discourage that particular use. It means money to them. Big money. Breitbart.com has a report with this headline: "Porn industry gears up for mobile phones, iPods."
I've said it before and I will say it again, pornography is one of the great sins in America which is rotting us from the inside out. In fact I will go one step further, as I have in the past, and say it is one of the single biggest problems facing the Church in America, and likely Europe, today.
Sometimes I think that the acceptance or overlooking of sins like homosexuality, adultery, and pre-marital sex exist in many "church" bodies today because so many who should take a stand against those sins are themselves trapped in the private sin of pornography.
It's certainly easy to get hooked because of the Internet and the push that skin peddlers undertake to get it to our email boxes and web browsers. The television and movie industry does it's part as well by greasing the tracks toward this terrible addiction which destroys families.
So now, you can expect pornography to become more ubiquitous in our society as portable devices make it easier to take anywhere for any time.
Who hasn't already heard a story about or experienced someone driving down the highway only to see some van sporting a DVD player showing porn?
Expect in the near future to read a news item about kids busted in school for showing porn movies on their IPods or how teachers are now having to confiscate cell phones from students because they are watching some "naughty" movie during class instead of doing their math.
How much worse will be the news items of pastors or priests caught with IPods filled with child pornography?
These are all terrible sins - pornography, adultery, pre-marital sex, homosexuality - but there is a Savior who can cleanse us from these sins via His shed blood. That blood unchains us, setting us free from death. Setting us free from the bondage we know in those sins, a bondage that creates depression and self loathing. That blood gives us life in Christ and communion with the Father. That blood creates a new man or a new woman in Christ.
Take hold of Christ and accept that gift of freedom and redemption He alone can offer through His sacrifice. Find new power in living for Christ and breaking the holds of sin upon your life. Ask Him for forgiveness of your sins and ask Him to come into your heart today!
He can accomplish this in you. Give yourself to Him today and find pleasure greater and everlasting unlike that pleasure which sin can only grant for a brief moment and for which you are later ashamed.
