Pornography
I am blogging about pornography.
Last night at our JYC meeting, my leader mentioned something really true. 2 sides of porn.
One side, Guys watch porn. That is simple. Internet has made hard porn accessible. More, FHM and maxim have made soft porn very accessible. Sex is no longer a gift but to be exploited at every turn. Television glamorous sex. The female form is now used in every advertisement (can anyone please tell me why you need girls in skimpy clothes to display the new ferrari or Honda??) We have made porn to be so accessible everywhere, we are desensitised.
God says Man gave God over to Idolatry, God gave man over to Immorality. Once we idolise anything, immorality comes in.
On the street, porn walks all over the place. Look at what the girls are wearing, short skirts, shorts, translucent etc etc. Once we look at a girl who covers only the essentials and we lust for them (guys, you know when it is lust; it is when you turn your head), that is idoltry and immorality comes in. We desire what we cannot have, we 'worship' them.
Of course, a good christian may say that he does not look lustily. I believe it is possible, but far more of us indulge in porn then we know. Especially in singapore where the warm weather gives girls the 'right' to wear close to nothing.
Which brings us to the next point; Girls commit porn.
By wearing those clothes, they are conveying the message look at me. Look at me and desire me. Worship me.
Guys, when you look at a girl lustfully, remember, you dishonor her, you dishonor her Maker. You dishonor God.
Girls when you wear clothes that reveal too much, you stumble your brothers. And woe is He to stumbles his brothers.
I am not condemning girls who wear skirts, neither am i asking for girls to wear a black shapeless cloth; that is legalism. That is NOT LOVE. I am asking girls to love your brothers and wear things that do not stumle your brothers easily.
I am not asking guys to walk with their eyes down. But i am asking them (myself included) to love the sisters. And not dishor them.

"guys, you know when it is lust; it is when you turn your head"...haha.. wat if the girl is just attractive but still decently clothed?
swimming costume leh? :P
Firstly, if she is attractive, and you are looking at her again and again, is it because you are admiring or coverting the girl? The desire for something you do not have but want, a person, is lust. But is is a thin line to draw.
Swimming costumes used to be one piece, it is now two pieces of tiny cloth. DUn forget in the past, it used to be a body suit.
