    Why Parents Should Watch Porn with Their Children

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 2, 2025 25:25


    The title of this broadcast is taken from a recent article posted in The Times in England on why parents should watch sexually provocative material with their children. Surveys show that more than 70% of a child’s first exposure to porn occurs at home, making the home a fierce spiritual battleground. Mike also gets into a post from an ex-porn actress on her struggles to do away with dressing in sexually provocative ways and gain her sense of self-worth from the looks of men. Also examined in this show is the desperate need for the church to make prayer a priority. Several quotes from Charles Spurgeon are provided, including this one: “The condition of the church may be very well accurately gaged by its prayer meetings. If God be near a church it must pray. And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be slothfulness in prayer.”

Just because a church has a gifted communicator for a pastor, a big building, or all the other bells and whistles doesn't mean Jesus that they wouldn't be one of the 70% Jesus confronted. If we apply the math from Revelation 2 and 3 to the present day, every modern church has a 70% chance, if not higher, that they would hear “Repent or else.” Some might think, “Naaah, my church is fine. It's other churches who have those problems, not us.” Umm, yeah, with 70% of men (including many pastors) and one third of women viewing porn, youth hitting the exits for decades, 10% of professing Christians reading the Bible daily, little equipping in spiritual warfare, and many churches without one prayer meeting, only an arrogant church would dare to assume they wouldn't be on the receiving end of Jesus' warnings.
