At Covenant Eyes, Tim Chester asks the question, "what good news are you offering to those struggling with sexual sin?" making the point that 1 in 3 Christians struggle with issues regarding sexual sin and that we live in a culture that frankly assumes sex outside of marriage to be the norm.
He writes, "A recent survey suggested that one in two evangelical men and one in
five evangelical women are struggling with pornography. Other surveys
bear out these proportions. This means that when you look out on your
congregation on a Sunday morning, one in three people are struggling
with pornography. What good news are you offering them?
"The
chances are many of them think they’re the only ones who are struggling.
They may think they’re disqualified from Christian service by their
sin, perhaps even from the Christian family. They hide their guilt,
terrified of being exposed. Yet at the same time they may long to share
their problem. What good news are you offering them?
"Or maybe
they’ve told someone and were met by barely masked repulsion. Or maybe
the person they told was sympathetic, but didn’t know how to bring hope
to the situation or how to offer accountability. What good news are you
offering them?"
