COVID-19, the coronavirus epidemic, has turned the lives of most Americans completely upside down. From social distancing practices, to lost employment, to the sickness itself, many have found themselves isolated from everyday positive human interaction, even suddenly cut off from family and friends, and spending a lot of time at home. Even the Supreme Court of the United States has delayed all oral arguments.
While time at home is a wonderful benefit for
families, this public health crisis has exacerbated things like loneliness, anxiety,
and addictions. The shocking reality is
that one business in particular is taking full advantage of the crisis, presenting
unprecedented opportunity for the pornography industry to capitalize on social
isolation. At the Federalist, Terry
Shilling reported that a few weeks ago a popular porn site called Pornhub moved
to make all its premium content free for users in Italy, which had just gone
under lockdown. Then last week, “it extended the offer to France and Spain. Here in the United States, although porn sets
may be shutting down out of infection concerns, online sex
performers are reporting booming business. Perhaps most disturbingly, Vice News
reported earlier this month on a surge of coronavirus-themed porn” on various websites, “proving a
well-known internet maxim that there is nothing — absolutely nothing —
pornographers won’t sexualize if it might make them a profit.” Read the full piece at How Big Porn Is Making The
Coronavirus Crisis Even Worse.
Like the coronavirus, pornography use is deadly
for families, bringing devastating effects across society. This nearly $100 billion
industry is devoted to its own spread worldwide, to draw more people into its
gripping addiction and terrible consequences, chief
among them being the exploitation of women and children and the
destruction of men. Pornography destroys families – and that is magnified
in a public health crisis of stay-at-home directives. Your own sexual ethic
makes such a difference. Learn more on how important this is to your character,
your reputation, and your family through Sexuality as
an Apologetic.
Rather than
traveling down this destructive path, families across the world are
experiencing a spiritual awakening instead. One poll revealed that 44% of
Americans see this virus as a “wake up call” to turn back to God and the
Bible.
The corona virus
is having an effect on your family – one way or the other.
You and your
family have a choice – one road leads to destruction, the other road leads to
life and health and well-being. In the
turbulent and uncertain times we now face, we all have a choice to make. “Choose this day whom you will serve, but as
for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15
