Sex slaves

On Monday night I went to see a movie called The Abolitionists. The movie was about an Underground Jump Team that consists of former CIA, Navy SEALs, and Special Ops operatives that lead coordinated identification and extraction efforts to rescue children that have been sold into sex trafficking. On their website http://ourrescue.org/ they say:
To the children: Hold on. We are on our way.
To the captors and perpetrators: Be afraid. We are coming for you.
But let's not forget that there is a whole other group that is held in slavery to sex - those addicted to pornography. They need to be rescued from their sin!  God and His team says:
To those addicted: Hold on. I am on my way.
To the enemy: Be afraid. I have already won the battle.
Each of us must confront our own evil desires and that which entices us. (James 1:14-15) When we do this, we come out from under the cover of darkness and expose the sham we've been living. Then, in the light, God helps us to deal with the temptation and find freedom!

In June we will be challenging anyone who has been tempted by pornography to take a 30-day challenge. You can sign up now at http://www.wedared.com/ You and I may not be former Navy SEALs, but we can do something. We can challenge ourselves and others to personal holiness.
