We are talking about PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION with Calvary Church Westside Pastor Jesse Lusko. If pornography is harming your life today, you can escape the addiction now.  Listen to the compassionate council from Jesse Lusko today. “The cure for addiction is a meaningful connection to other people.” Pornography promises excitement and ecstasy, but Jesse says, “Sin steals from you the very thing it promised you.” Jesse refers to James 5:16 today as a place to start if you want to get away from an addiction of any kind.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. James 5:16 NASB: 1995 update.

You can’t do it by yourself!  He also points to a website called “Fight the New Drug” that may help you with understanding the physical and mental effects of pornography.
