Broken and Scared

Jake Rasmussen | September 5, 2008 | 1:46 pm

I am scared to death.  I can’t stop praying.

I am putting together my message for this Sunday and am broken to the point of tears sitting in Starbucks for the devistating stories about porn in our community.  For God’s sake, the line: “it isn’t hurting anyone what I do on my own”.  That is so full of crap!  It destroys marriages, relationships with children, self image, view of the other sex, and creates a massive gap between our heart and the one who created us, God.

I am scared to give this message becuase it is so important and I feel that I will not present it in a way that is full of grace and with a call to repentance.

Oh Jesus, please place protection about my heart as I am preparing and delevering your message to our community this Sunday.  Jesus, please allow the Holy Spirit to radically work in the lives of all who will enter the movie theater this Sunday.  Please use me and my voice this Sunday to present clearly the facts about porn in our culture and community.  - Amen

Hope it went well! Don’t back down. Porn is the worst and most pervasive sin of our generation. Something so beautiful and given by God used in base and selfish ways. Preach about it and offer help and hope!
