FREEDOM BEGINS HERE

Crisis
(As heard Wednesday 2/20 on the show at about 8:50 a.m.)

Pornography. It is the secret sin we don’t like to talk about. Yet it is single handedly corrupting our society—destroying marriages, families, careers, and even churches. A startling survey* recently revealed that 50% of Christian men and 20% of Christian women admit they are addicted to pornography. Not just struggling…addicted. That’s 84 million Christians. *ChristiaNet.com 6/6/07

• Chuck Swindoll calls it “The #1 secret problem in your church.”

• Of the 10,000 calls, emails and letters Focus on the Family receives daily, this represent their number one incoming request for help overall.

• New Man Magazine’s most frequent request from readers is to refer them to a service or ministry that can help them with their sexual temptation. “New Man readers NEED this product.” - from a New Man representative

• Oprah calls it “America’s #1 addiction.”



There are events going on this weekend in Merrillville and Naperville, around the NEWSBOYS GO TOUR concerts, and one of the guys from Rush of Fools is involved in this. Check out http://www.freeddombeginshere.org

Just wanted to comment on your post. I don't want to come across as correcting you, but all the guys in Rush of Fools are involved with Freedom Begins Here. They have formed a ministry partnership to draw attention to the epidemic issue of pornography and sex addiction within and outside the church. Anyways, glad to see you posted about this!

Oh, and their website is:
