Pornography Awareness Week – Tuesday

By: American Decency Staff

Yesterday I made you aware of a conference sponsored by Desiring God Ministries in Minneapolis, MN in September 2004. There were twelve messages over the weekend. Each one powerful. The theme was "Sex and the Supremacy of Christ." This is "Pornography Awareness Week." It's a week's emphasis to remind us of the need to take a stand against pornography in our individual lives, in the marketplace, in our homes and wherever we come across it. Pornography is debilating, degrading, destructive and addictive. I recently listened to each of these messages again on my way back from Washington DC. Each one is powerful in the richness of its Bible centeredness and in its practical application. Speakers: Mark Dever, C.J. & Carolyn Mahaney, Carolyn McCulley, Al Mohler, Ben Patterson, John Piper, David Powlison Topics included: John Piper—Sex and the Supremacy of Christ (Part One) Ben Patterson—The Goodness of Sex and the Glory of God Al Mohler—Homosexual ‘Marriage’: A Tragic Oxymoron, Biblical and Cultural Reflections Mark Dever—Christian Hedonists or Religious Prudes? The Puritans on Sex David Powlison—Making All Things New—Restoring Pure Joy to the Sexually Broken John Piper—Sex and the Supremacy of Christ (Part Two) ELECTIVE SESSIONS C.J. Mahaney—Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: What Every Christian Husband Needs to Know Carolyn Mahaney—Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: What Every Christian Wife Needs to Know Mark Dever—Sex and the Single Man Carolyn McCulley—We're Not on Hold: Biblical Femininity for Single Women Speaker Interviews with Mark Dever (Friday) Speaker Interviews with Mark Dever (Saturday) We will make each of these messages available to you free of charge Email me with the following words in the subject line: Supremacy of Christ Contact me at: bjohnson@americandecency.org ========== ADA "Pornography Awareness" Event scheduled for this Saturday, November 3 between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM at ADA headquarters 203 E.

We received this gracious offer from an anonymous donor. "… I would like to again offer a $15,000 matching grant to anyone who hasn't given since 12/31/05 or to anyone who gives more than what they gave in 2006 (e.g. if they gave $1,000 in '06 and gave $1500 in '07, we will match the $500 increase as long as it was given between 9/10/07-12/31/07). We will match these gifts received from 9/10/07 through 12/31/07." Help us meet this challenge.
