So maybe pastors aren't sharing their life out in the open because they
are afraid of the consequences. Let's face it- all we have in ministry
is our integrity. Once that is gone, it's gone. Most likely, if you're
caught viewing porn or are caught in your addiction, you're toast at
your job. This is what we face. Transparent living is crazy scary, but
it's the life we have been called to lead. This issue is so
"in our faces" that we can't ignore it anymore, no matter how it
affects us personally. And it will affect us personally. It's all
personal. When you uncover something that was buried for years, it
hurts. When it's a loved one, it hurts.

At the core of consuming porn is selfishness. I will get my fix. No one
will know. It is my secret. It is what I do in private. My dad did it.
Everyone does it and I am going to as well. Porn is a fantasy
designed to do one thing - keep you completely to yourself. It is a
lie. Porn tries to tell you what sex should feel like and look like.
Porn will destroy the relationships around you. You will pull away from
reality because of this dirty little secret. As you consume porn, it
becomes your life and you will eventually lose control to addiction.
Stop now. Be done with it all. Change today because there are much
greater things than porn to give your time, money and energy to.
