More than half of all U.S. couples live together before marriage.
There are 2.4 million marriages a year in the US and 1.2 million divorces a year.
70% of Christian men look at pornography.
Pornography is the number one export of America.
Americans spend $13. 1 BILLION on pornography each year, the same amount that we give in foreign aid.
More than 260 million Internet pages are pornographic, an increase in 1, 800% in the last five years.
One large study ten years ago showed that 56 percent of divorce cases involved one party having an obsessive interest in
pornographic websites. Another more recent and extensive research showed that in 2/3rds of all divorces pornography played a significant role. That equates to well over 600,000 divorces each year in the US.
More than 1/3 of married Christian men commit adultery.
But it gets worse:
35% of teen boys say they have viewed pornographic videos “more times than they can count.”
15% of boys and 9% of girls have seen child pornography.
32% of boys and 18% of girls have seen bestiality online.
39% of boys and 23% of girls have seen sexual bondage online.
83% of boys and 57% of girls have seen group sex online.
Many teenagers involved in a relationship are being pressed to engage in anal sex.

Okay enough!
And the worse news is that is just the beginning.
So what do we do? Do we just watch tv and eat popcorn and allow the Lord to take care of it? Do we have a momentary sigh and wish there was something we could do?
There is. You be holy. You be a saint. That is the very best thing we can do. We have the power of all heaven at our disposal if we get on our knees. Time to get serious. Time to watch. Time to listen. Time to fast and pray.
He's our only hope.
