McDowell: Time to speak up about porn

Bill Bumpas - OneNewsNow - 6/18/2012 3:50:00 AM

A well-known Christian leader is warning about what he believes is the greatest threat to the cause of Christ.

Author and speaker Josh McDowell's concern is pornography -- something that has always been around but is now just one click away, thanks to the Internet. He says access to porn has never been so readily available, and he feels he can no longer remain silent.
"I pray to God that some leaders in the United States -- a head of each denomination -- will wake up and say We have got to address this problem, or I'll tell you this: kiss this generation goodbye," McDowell warns. "It's almost too late."
He says pornography in the United States is so pervasive, especially among young people.
"Of all young people [ages] 12-25 who visit the Internet, which is a majority of them, 60-some percent regularly go to pornography," the author laments. "And that's the same stat within the church of evangelical, fundamental, born-again young people. And the pastor stands in the pulpit silent. Incredible."

McDowell, a longtime Christian leader who is currently on a speaking tour in Latin America, has launched JustOneClickAway.org, a new online resource for families and churches to help those battling porn addiction.
