You Become Exactly What You Worship
"The world says that porn is harmless fun. The Bible calls it lust. Jesus said that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Why so harsh? Because He is protecting the architecture of your soul.
There is a massive difference between love and lust. Love says, "I see you, and I want to give to you." Lust says, "I see parts of you, and I want to take from you."
When you watch porn, you are engaging in spiritual cannibalism. You are consuming another human being's dignity to feed your own hunger. You turn an image bearer of God into a piece of meat.
As a psychologist in training, I see the devastating effects of this constantly: You become what you worship. If you worship objects, you start to feel hollow. You start to feel like an object yourself. This is exactly why users experience such high rates of depression—you are degrading humanity, including your own.
Psalm 101:3 says, "I will set no wicked thing before my eyes." The eye gate is the entrance to the soul. If you fill the temple with garbage, don't be surprised when the altar smells like rot.
