“The plague of pornography is swirling about us as never before. Pornography brings a vicious wake of immorality, broken homes, and broken lives. Pornography will sap spiritual strength to endure. Pornography is much like quicksand. You can become so easily trapped and overcome as soon as you step into it that you do not realize the severe danger. Most likely you will need assistance to get out of the quicksand of pornography. But how much better it is never to step into it. I plead with you to be careful and cautious.” NeedsHomeSpiritualRealizingStepsDangerBrokenOvercomingEndureAddictionCarefulBe CarefulTrappedSevereAssistanceViciousPornographyPlagueCautiousImmoralitySapQuicksandSpiritual StrengthBroken Homes Author:Joseph B.

“Another activity that can detract us from the proper way is watching television excessively or viewing improper movies. While fine productions on these media are uplifting and entertaining, we need to be very selective in choosing what we see and how much of our time such an activity deserves.
