Above reproach

Recently I read about the high incidence of pastors being in involved in pornography. Pornography is sin. It is sex.

As Christians we are called to be apart from the world, not in it. We are called to be holy. We are called to bring our thoughts under the captivity of Christ. 

Pastors have a greater accountability to Christ as handlers of the Word. They should not be involved in  the works of darkness themselves and should be denouncing it from the pulpit. 

Why is pornography wrong? you ask. 

1. Pornography invalidates the one flesh relationship of the covenant of marriage. 
2. It denigrates married love to animal baseness and allows women to be used as sex objects instead of loved tenderly. 
3. Women who engage in pornography also tend to treat men with little respect. 
4. It encourages selfish love making and greater expectation of the act
5. It can make a woman feel dirty and effects her relationship with her husband if he watches it
6. It creates a lustful mindset that overflows into the heart and becomes sinful actions.
7. It encourages a roving eye and Jesus says that is adultery in the heart therefore sin.

Satan has hoodwinked society into believing that pornography is fine, but the results are catastrophic. Everything that God has said is good, Satan has substituted with evil. 

Darkness is deepening. Christ is soon to return. Keep oil in your lamps. Keep your garments clean. Present yourself as a spotless Bride. Jesus Christ deserves a pure Bride-and She deserves pure minded pastors that should  be leading them in holiness, having holy and clean hands as they touch the Word of God and they must be above reproach!
