10 Half-Truths that Keep Us Addicted to Porn, Episode 1 ➣ Go to series playlist: https://rumble.com/playlists/EsYd1RsrOi4 ----------- In the same way that truth sets us free, deception keeps us in bondage. But the deceptions that we are most vulnerable to are not brazen lies, they are lies mixed with truth. In this episode, Steve Gallagher reveals the half-truths and blatant lies that the porn industry is telling millions of men and women. • Porn will satisfy you. Porn may offer a momentary pleasure, but then it becomes a demanding tyrant that destroys your life. • Porn isn’t hurting anybody. Although you may not be physically cheating on your wife, porn transforms you little by little into someone who is selfish, self-centered and self-indulgent in every aspect of life. • Sexual pleasure is the most important aspect of life. Only to a sex addict. • You can always “repent” and ask for forgiveness. The notion that a person can just tell God “I’m sorry” when he has no intention of changing is nothing more than a religious delusion that God sees right through. ------------ ➣ Get counseling or other resources: www.purelifeministries.org ➣ Visit our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/purelifeministries ➣ Visit our Instagram page: www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ Music from Soundstripe Apex Program (Cody Martin) - O0FVDYFCHSDZ6AXE Into the Storm (Moments) - QMYZ66RDP5KHF4VV Rogue (Cody Martin) - MGPAHFLTWUL5IVP2
