You Are God's Temple: Devotions From Time of GraceNäide

Honor God With Your Sexuality: Just looking Some people assume that pornography was more or less invented by Playboy magazine. Actually, many of the very first photographic images made, in the years before the Civil War, had sexual content. Why? For the money, of course. Sex always sells. Today we are awash in it. Most corner gas stations and truck stops have plastic-covered magazines on the top shelf. Some estimate that 30% of all websites are pornographic. Does it matter? Is it really adultery if you’re just looking? The Lord Jesus himself, who had to endure Satan’s sexual temptation just as much as we do, warned that sin is not only in the action but in the thought process as well: “I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). Husbands, look at your wives. Single guys, put your energy into finding a good wife. You can trust Jesus to tell you how to be truly happy. And satisfied.
