8 Impure thoughts Genesis 6:5 (New English Translation) But the LORD saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time. Impure desires Jeremiah 13:10 (New English Translation) These wicked people refuse to obey what I have said. They follow the stubborn inclinations of their own hearts and pay allegiance to other gods by worshiping and serving them Impure will Jeremiah 16:12 (New English Translation) And you have acted even more wickedly than your ancestors! Each one of you has followed the stubborn inclinations of your own wicked heart and not obeyed me. Impure perception Jeremiah 23:17 (New English Translation) They continually say to those who reject what the LORD has said, Things will go well for you! They say to all those who follow the stubborn inclinations of their own hearts, Nothing bad will happen to you! Impure conscience Titus 1:15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. 8

21 Proven Men Ministries and Barna group (Christian research groups) on pornography: Pornography is prevalent everywhere today. In fact, one in eight online searches is for pornography. Because porn use thrives in secrecy, many church members are trapped in a cycle of sin and shame, thinking that they're the only ones facing this temptation. The number of Christian men viewing pornography virtually mirrors the national average. 79% of born-again Christian men don t have an Internet filter to block porn from computers or cell phones 55% of born-again Christian men view porn at least once a month 20% of 16 year olds and 30% of 17 year olds have received a sext (a sexully implicit text). 65% of young adults (20-25) believed sending and receiving texts is very common at their age. 20% of teens have sent or posted nude or semi-nude photgraphs or videos of themselves. 9% of born-again Christian men install a computer program or cell phone app to enhance viewing porn. 21
22 Myths of Sex and Purity Myth Debunking Scripture I'm all alone, sad with no one to help You're not alone. God is with you Psalm 34:18 I'll be ok, my sin isn't too bad Living a double life It's ok alternative if my wife isn't fulfilling her marital duty Don't get too comfortable with sin. Be sober & hate sin Do your words match up with your actions God desires self control at all times Psalm 36:1-2 Mark 7:6-8 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 Lustful looks are ok Lustful looks equates to adultery Matthew 5:27-30 This is too difficult to overcome Nothing is impossible for God Matthew 19:26 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 If that brother struggles with it then it's ok There is no consequence to this sin God will judge you based on His word not on man's standards There is always a consequence to sin Matthew 12:36-37 Romans 14: Corinthians 10:6-13 Galatians 5:19-21 I'm too tempted not to sin There's always a way out 1 Corinthians 10:13 I'm a sinner God understands Masturbation is ok because it's not mentioned in the bible God expects a response to his grace Every part of your body should be used to glorify Christ Falls outside the standards that Christ intended Galatians 5:22-26 Ephesians 2:8-10 Luke 9: Corinthians 6:13-20 Mark 10:7-9 22
