The Great Lie (Pornography)
Lies
It's not a big deal.
One look won't hurt.
It's harmless.
I can stop anytime.
I'm in control.
I'm not addicted.
There are no long-term affects.
I'm not hurting anyone.
Truths
Pornography is more powerful than you think.
Better to avoid than resist.
It's your choice.
Creates unrealistic expectations.
Destroys faith in God.
It can ruin your life.
Talk to someone. It will help.
You can flee from pornography.
Hope is found in Christ.
You are a child of God.
