10 Lies Men Believe About Porn: The Lies That Keep Men in Bondage, and the Truth That Sets Them Free

by Stephen Kuhn

Overview

The battle to resist pornography is brutal.

Its lure just seems too powerful.

We've tried for years to be strong, run away from temptation, and manage our desires in better ways. No matter how hard we try, though, we just can't get free from pornography. Some of us have lost all hope.

What if the battle you've been fighting isn't even the real battle?

What if using pornography is just a symptom of something deeper going on inside of you?

What if the things you are doing to protect yourself actually contribute to your obsession?

Have you had thoughts like I'm the only one struggling like this, God must be so ashamed of me, or I've got to get stronger to overcome this? These thoughts are common. But they are also lies.

10 Lies Men Believe about Porn holds these lies up against the truth of Scripture. You'll learn how they deceive us into missing out on the freedom Christ offers us. Ultimately, you'll discover that the message of the gospel isn't about learning to fight better-it's about no longer needing to fight at all. That is the type of freedom Jesus came to offer you. That's why they call it the Good News.

"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

-John 8:32-

Read an Excerpt

If you don't understand who God says you are, you are left to fill your identity void on your own. Anywhere you look outside of Him will result in a false identity, because your true identity is not something you can create or achieve-it can only be received.

Satan will try to exploit your identity void in a myriad of ways in order to wreak havoc in your life. One of the most prolific ways he does this is by convincing you that your identity is defined by your sin-or by the sins of others against you. How many times have you thought, I am a terrible sinner, or placed labels on yourself such as stupid, worthless, dirty, failure, and so on? Once you look to the Bible and see the truth about what God says about you, you will see that none of these labels are true about you.

They are all false identities.
