Fighting Internet Pornography

1. Pornography is ultimately harmful to people and relationships. Our goal is to help people in their personal battle against it.
2. Internet pornography can be especially tempting to view because it is anonymous.
3. We challenge ourselves to make a covenant with our eyes, not to look lustfully at another person (Job 31:1).
4. Being accountable for Internet use is a vital first step in fighting this temptation.
5. Accountability software ( www.CovenantEyes.com ) is a valuable resource for accountability partners who are fighting this temptation.
