Oprah and Porn: Adventures in Missing the Point

Did you watch Oprah today? Yeah, me neither. However, I did hear that she devoted the entire show to women and pornography. Apparently, all she did was condone the viewing of porn and didn't warn against it once. Craig, from XXXChurch, wrote a great post challenging Oprah to tell the whole story. To tell about the pain and heartache that pornography causes. To tell of the distorted and unrealistic perceptions that porn causes us to hold. To tell of the millions of lives, marriages, and relationships that have been devastated at the hands of pornographers.

1 in 3 viewers of online porn are women. What does that tell us? It tells us that the market is growing and changing into things that we never dreamed it would be. It tells us that the apathy of humanity is strengthening and growing faster and faster every day. It tells us that things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.

I'd say Oprah missed the point. She missed a golden opportunity to challenge women to live sexually and emotionally healthy lifestyles.

Bottom Line: Porn is a distortion of reality. It will only serve to confuse, disappoint and break us down. Jesus is hope. He offers cleaning and a freedom that we can't even begin to imagine. He is our Refuge, our Stronghold and our Rock. He is our Renewal, our Rescue and our Redemption.

What do you think about all this? Be honest

Does God Desire All People To Be Saved?

What a great question! Have you ever thought about that? This is an especially important question for those who hold to a reformed, Calvanistic theology. If God does not save all people does He then not desire that all people be saved? Does God have two wills? Can we even begin to attribute a human emotion like grief or gladness to a transcendent, perfect Being? R.C. Sproul takes a stab at this question in the video below. I like his answer a lot. What do you think?

He That Pisseth Againt the Wall: A Sermon

Please feel free to add your own commentary on this insightful sermon



Commentary (respective to the order of items discussed:

1. The verse and chapter numbers are not inspired. We put them there to help us organize Scripture in our finite brains. So, Gen 5:5 is arbitrary and has nothing to do with divine numbers. Thanks for playing though.

2. No one is accusing you of using vile language. We are, however, accusing you of using weird language. Pisseth? I've got a red squiggly line under that word that says you're crazy

3. Before I asked what God meant by that phrase, I asked my self what you mean by this sermon topic. I've watched it several times now and have no idea where you are going with this

4. There is a difference between men and women. Noted. Thanks for the sex ed lesson

5. There are so many absurdities in your defense of the KJV that I don't have time rebut them. By "don't have time" I mean I don't have 17 years point them all out

6. Manhood: urinating on a wall. Again, noted.

7. Call me uncultured but I don't believe that such German signs exist. It was probably a no smoking sign that you interpreted the same way you do Scripture: incorrectly.

8. I can think of a lot of potential places our country is headed and peeing on a wall is not one of them. Ever.

9. How do you know how our president pees? I'm a little bothered by the fact that you chose to even speculate about that issue.

10. That's what's wrong with America? Really?! I can't even respond to that I'm so confused

11. 400 years ago pastors probably stood up to pee too huh?! Yeah! get excited baby! Peeing on the wall!!!! WOOHOO!!

12. I can say with all the honesty in the world that I do not care what the editors of the NIV do when they pee. Not at all. Zero.

13. Whew! I will sleep well tonight knowing that you will pee standing up while you're in Germany.

14. Thank you, Pastor Anderson, for challenging me with the word of God and teaching me so many important and life-changing truths. I'm packing my things as we speak and moving to Phoenix so I can continue to learn under your tutelage.

15. My apologies to any of you who think this is what Christianity is all about. Jesus was not and is not concerned with how one pees. Trust me.

Remember: the "Hope" part is Jesus. This kind of stuff is really empty without Him.

I think my wife is a Calvanist...

This is funny. Of course, it's an over-exaggeration. If you call yourself a Calvanist and this offends you, chill out. This is good comedy!
