"Why is pornography the most addictive thing in the universe for men? Certainly there’s the fact that a man is visually
wired, that pictures and images arouse men much more than they do women. But the deeper reason is because that seductive beauty
reaches down inside and touches your desperate hunger for validation as a man you didn’t even know you had, touches
it like nothing else most men have ever experienced. You must understand - this is deeper than legs and breast and good sex.
It is mythological ... You see every man remembers Eve. We are haunted by her. And somehow we believe that if we could find
her, get her back, then we’d also recover with her our own lost masculinity.
From: "Wild at Heart," by John Eldredge, copyright 2001, p. 91.
Pornography, like drugs, is another one of the enemy's tricks to steal your heart. Satan uses it to turn your face
from God to one of his works. It needs to be kept out of your house, your heart and away from your family.
If you are addicted to pornography do not despair, it can be overcome with God's help. You are not condemned or doomed
to remain in this state. Mark 10:27 KJV: Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible,
but not with God; all things are possible with God."
You will find many quotes, references to "Wild at Heart" and other works by John Eldredge on this site. It is my hope many,
many men will get his books, study them and apply them to their lives, also guarding their hearts.
