The Pornography Problem
A generation that was raised on social media has a unique experience when it comes to internet pornography. Young adults today have near limitless access to sexually explicit content, but they spend little time thinking about what that access means for themselves or their relationships. Pornography is everywhere, as a result, young people today are exposed to pornographic content much earlier and spend much more time watching porn than previous generations.

With the latest AI-powered software, it can take less than half an hour to use a single photograph of a woman’s face to produce a 60-second porn video that makes it look like the victim was a willing participant in whatever debauchery the original video portrayed. A 2024 research paper cites a survey of 16,000 adults in ten countries and shows that 2.2 percent of the respondents reported being a victim of “non-consensual synthetic intimate imagery,” which is apparently just a more technical way of saying “deepfake porn.” The US was one of the ten countries included, and 1.1 percent of the respondents in the US reported being victimized by it. Because virtually all the victims are women and assuming men and women were represented equally in the survey, that means one out of every fifty women in the US has been a victim of deepfake porn.

Read MoreMental pornography: Winning the battle with lust
One of the most compelling tales in the Old Testament is the story of Samson and Delilah. It’s a narrative that has captivated audiences in Sunday School classes, sermons, and even Hollywood films. The tale is fascinating because it offers a vivid illustration of how a man can be utterly undone by his desires, abandoning common sense and devotion to God in pursuit of fleeting pleasures.
What makes Samson’s story particularly intriguing is the contrast between his physical strength and his moral weakness. Samson was considered the strongest man in Hebrew history, capable of single-handedly defeating entire armies. Yet his downfall didn’t come at the hands of a mightier warrior, but rather through the deceptive allure of a woman. Samson’s lust ultimately led to his undoing, serving as a cautionary tale for countless others who have followed a similar path to ruin.
