Today ABC news ran a story on "Porn and Pancakes"
It's not your typical church breakfast. An event billed as "Porn and Pancakes" is being hosted by a church in rural upstate New York.It amazed me, as I read through most of the bible this last year, that the bible is packed with stories (or teachings) illustrating the cost of sexual sin. As a former pastor used to say "sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay." This seems especially true with sexual sin, which is an amazing challenge for our culture as we live in such a "sex-crazed" society.The breakfast discussion on the pornography industry in America is planned next month at the Living Word Assembly of God Church in the town of Ontario, about ten miles east of Rochester.
A billboard advertisement near the church shows the words "Porn and Pancakes" written in syrup on a stack of flapjacks.
No matter what you think of "Pancakes and Porn" I hope you can join me in thanking God for churches that aren't afraid to takle this issue head on. For free resources on fighting porn you can check out xxxchurch.com. They offer free accountability software and other resources devoted to helping people escape from the grips of sexual sin. They are also the organization helping put on these pancake breakfasts around the nation.
"Rather clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ, then to think of how to gratify the desires of sinful nature." (Rom 13:14)
