Listen to the following song by Casting Crowns called "Slow Fade" which can be purchased at ChristianBook.com or go to REAL Men RoCK Mall and click the link to ChristianBook.com.
Slow Fade
I believe that the video speaks for itself.
There are over 400 million pages of pornography on the Internet. It is scientifically proven to be highly addictive. It negatively affects people's relationships with:
- Community
- Ministry Calling
- Work Productivity
- Church
- Family & Marriage
- Personal Relationship with God
Pornography use is shame-based and leads to a secret life. 70% of Christian men and 21% of women struggle with Internet pornography.
One solution is Covenant Eyes. I have made a covenant with my eyes - Job 31: 1
Covenant Eyes is affordable: $7.99 per month. There are discounts for Household and Multiple users. Organization staff discounts for churches, ministry, businesses. You can add a filter for $1.50 per month.
Along with signing up with Covenant Eyes get an Accountability Partner. Accountability is an essential part of our lives. Being accountable provides safety and a sense of freedom from temptation.
I encourage you to seek out a friend who can hold you accountable for your dreams and keep you from greed, pride or lust.
I believe 100% of all men in church need to have an Accountability Partner and Covenant Eyes.
By clicking Christian Book or Covenant Eyes links I get a small commission on your purchase.

I’ve been signed up to Covenant Eyes for three months now. My counselor gets my reports. No filters – just reports. I have not viewed anything inappropriate in that time. I fought getting it for a while, thinking it a lack of faith. Then the Holy Spirit highlighted 1 Corinthians 10:13:
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
BRAVO on the video!
Accountability on the computer is such a powerful tool.
By the way, Covenant Eyes has started a cause on Facebook called "Fighting Internet Pornography." Tell others about it. We want to spread the word that there is hope when it comes to temptation.
