I encountered this document a few days ago. Suffice it to say that it’s a jarring and sobering read.
Written by Mark Driscoll, he begins by presenting a theology of purity. Just having all these Scriptures together in one place is of great value. But then he goes on to address just about any kind of question related to pornography and sexuality that you can think of. And I do mean every kind of question.
He ends the whole document by having an excerpt of an interview between Ted Bundy, the serial killer, and Christian leader James Dobson. The interview took place hours before Ted Bundy was to be executed, and delineated Ted Bundy’s early obsession with pornography and how that led him down the slippery slope of experimentation, and eventually rape and murder.
Suffice it to say that this blog post is not a peppy talk. I actually feel kind of dirty just having read that thing.
But I do believe that this is a topic that needs to be addressed more. Our churches, ministries, and friends are dealing with it, so why not have a frank discussion sometime on this topic?
