Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. —Psalm 82:3–4 (NIV)
Sexual immorality = porneia in Greek, meaning “illicit sexual activity”
Changing the word sexual sin for porneia leaves us with a strong message in the New Testament:
“The body is not meant for porneia but for the Lord” (1 Corinthians 6:13).
“Flee from porneia. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body” (1 Corinthians 6:18).
“But among you there must not be even a hint of porneia, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people” (Ephesians 5:3)
Jesus was always going after the heart…
“But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)
What is the common theme of sexual immorality, sexual sin, pornography, and sex work/trafficking? It starts with lust & involves greed, exploitation, manipulation, and distortion of sex for one’s selfish gain.
Children are the most vulnerable and easily manipulated people group and we see them being targeted.
From ourrescue.org:
40.3 million people are trafficked globally - 25% are children
Human trafficking is the second largest illicit activity in the world - only behind the drug trade
72% of individuals trafficked were for sexual exploitation
From fightthenewdrug.org:
Research involving current and former porn performers suggests that exploitation and trafficking are common experiences in the porn industry, with pornography ranking as the third-most common form of trafficking reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
Fraud, coercion, and force are all used to produce pornographic content.
Porn is used to groom sexual abuse victims.
Increased pornography consumption is linked to men’s enjoyment of degrading, uncommon, or aggressive sexual behaviors.
Approximately 91.5% of men and 60.2% of women report consuming porn in the past month, according to a 2020 study.
Because of desensitization, many porn consumers find themselves consuming more porn, consuming more often, or consuming more extreme forms of pornography.
Pornography and sexual sin is a warped view of what sex is intended for and has devastating consequences on the mind, relationships, mental health, and protection of women and children.
Amy Berg a filmmaker created a documentary called “An Open Secret” about the child sexual abuse issue in Hollywood exposing a lot of higher-ups in the film industry.
