A study revealed that over 50 percent of pastors regularly view pornography.
Right at this moment, there's never been anything in history that is destroying more churches, more pastors, more marriages, more young people, than pornography.
Someone said, 'It's the greatest cancer in the church.
Sixty-four percent of all Christian families have an acute problem with pornography."
Research says:
Porn Is Implicating Pastors
More alarmingly, it is not only the people in the pews viewing porn. Pastors also struggle with pornography. How can revival come when even the church leaders are battling or addicted to porn?
"There are pastors who sit in their office and surf the net for pornography, then walk across the hallway and give leadership for our kids," said McDowell.
"Our deacons, our elders, our leaders come to church and they lead worship, then they go home and often until midnight, or one in the morning, will surf the internet for pornography. These are our leaders."
When asked if he often gets pushback from leaders when he brings up pornography, McDowell replied, "No! Usually I get silence because most pastors won't say much because they're involved in it, and they're afraid of the shame and exposure if it comes out."
*My heart was literally pounding within my chest as I read this. It's sad but this is the reality of things. We have a lot of work to do. These secret sins leave the church weak and we wonder what's happening to us?
It's shocking that the pastor you see on the pulpit vibrating and ministering with such power is a slave of pornography in the night. It saddens me. In these last days, porn is one of the devil's most potent weapon. Beware!
