Before even stepping into the deeper waters of whether a filter shows wisdom or weakness; you can’t  ignore the tsunami coming at you. Do I Need a Filter?

Listen in as Josh describes the unique age we’re living in as two powerful waves of sexual immorality and digital connectivity crashing on us 24/7.

They create floodwaters rushing through your living room, bedroom, locker room, office space, car. Is a filter enough?

Let’s find out.

Highlights

Common Objections to Filters:

1. A filter is an obstacle on my computer getting in the way of work, school, and everyday tasks.
2. My device is given to me and I can’t put a filter on it because it will expose my addiction.
3. A filter will expose me to my spouse or family on the home computer.
4. I want to engage in more than  “ behavior management.” 

We are living in an incredibly unique time in the history of humankind. This is a unique moment. There are two powerful waves that have converged in the same direction. One of those waves is the sexual immorality of our culture. In addition, the immense digital connectivity of everyone and everything in our culture.

Remember pornography actually changes the wiring of your brain. It creates new neural networks that learn to run automatically.

A filter creates some space, some barriers so your brain (over time), will begin to rewire in a different way and stop recognizing the screen as a conduit to sexual pleasure. 

You want to get after heart issues. But in order to do so, you need some space from pornography because pornography has a way of numbing your senses to what your heart is really looking for. Pornography has a way of distracting you, leading you down a path away from the things that matter most to your heart.

The ultimate goal is not just abstinence from pornography, not just abstinence from sexually explicit material, the ultimate goal is that our hearts would be transformed into Christ’s likeness.

Our heart begins to beat for the things that Christ’s heart beats for.

Our hearts would begin to love where we in the past have just lusted.

Our hearts would begin to receive the love of God instead of seeking out false loves through unwanted sexual behaviors.
