The false believer is not concerned about the pornography in their life.
The false believer takes great pleasure in viewing pictures of those who are barely dressed.
The false believer struggles not, when undressing others with their eyes.
The false believer brags about their lustful thoughts.
The false believer is foolish to think this is acceptable.
The false believer is deceived when thinking there is no harm in this type of behavior.
The false believer is without God and has no assurance of salvation.
The false believer has no power in and of theirselves to resist this alone.
Think about your sin, let it crush you then think about the Savior who died to save you. Repent and turn from sin, put your COMPLETE trust in Christ to rescue you from this grievous trap.
He alone can save your soul from everlasting punishment in a lake of fire.
He will give you a new heart with new desires that will despise the wickedness of this world.

Take these three spears!
(Thomas Watson, "The Mischief of Sin")
Do with your sin--as Joab did with Absalom. He took three spears and thrust them through the heart of Absalom! 2 Samuel 18:14. Just so, take these three spears--the Word of God, prayer, and mortification--and strike through the heart of your lusts, so that they die!
What is the end of all a Christian's duties, praying, and hearing--but to weaken and mortify lust! Why is this spiritual medicine taken--but to kill the child of sin! Sin will insinuate itself and plead for a reprieve--but show it no mercy!
Saul's sparing Agag lost him the kingdom--and your sparing sin will lose you the kingdom of Heaven. Do with your sin, what Samuel did to Agag, "He hacked Agag to pieces before the Lord at Gilgal." 1 Samuel 15:33

Omnipresence
Omnipresence
(A Collection of Hymns and Sacred Songs)
WHERE can we hide, or whither fly,
Lord, to escape thy piercing eye?
With thee it is not day and night,
But darkness shineth as the light.
Where'er we go, whate'er pursue,
Our ways are open to thy view,
Our motives read, our thoughts explored,
Our hearts revealed to thee, O Lord.
Is there throughout all worlds one spot,
One lonely wild, where thou art not?
The hosts of heaven enjoy thy care,
And those of hell know thou art there.
Awake, asleep, where none intrude,
Or 'midst the thronging multitude,
In every land on every sea,
We are surrounded still with thee.
Search us, O God, and know each heart;
With every idol bid us part;
Make us to keep thy holy ways,
And live to utter forth thy praise.

The Child of Satan!
(James Smith, "The Love of Christ! The Fullness, Freeness, and Immutability of the Savior's Grace Displayed!")
"For all who are led by the Spirit of God--are children of God!" Romans 8:14
If we are sons of God--we shall be led by the Spirit of God. And if we are led by the Spirit of God--we shall be led in the paths of righteousness and holiness!
The sons of God do not, cannot--love sin, live in sin, or make light of sin! He who loves and lives in sin--is the child of Satan! "You are of your father the Devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires!" John 8:44
The child will resemble its parent, and all God's children resemble Him--in His hatred to sin, and love to holiness. Let us not, therefore, imagine that we are the Lord's--if we live as the world lives . . .
in the lusts of the flesh,
in the lust of the eye,
and in the pride of life!
