(ChurchLeaders) At a virtual conference held by Promise Keepers this weekend, author and speaker Stephen Arterburn challenged men to stop making excuses and to live fully into their callings as men of God. Arterburn shared from his own life how the excuses he once made to look at pornography influenced his decision in college to pressure a woman into getting an abortion.
“On any given Sunday,” said Stephen Arterburn, “of us men that are sitting in church, more of us have looked at pornography than have opened God’s word to look at his truth.” Arterburn believes that if more men cared about God’s word and his kingdom than they did about looking at porn, “We’d see the kingdom of heaven here on earth.”
