“Don’t think that you’re above it. I don’t think that I’m above it. Never think that you’re above any kind of a sin. It’s something that people struggle with, it’s something that can find you easily on the internet. The internet is now a necessity of life. It’s a utility like water or electricity…

I sometimes think, we get these rose colored glasses looking at the past, thinking like, oh, if only I could have lived among the saints of the past, like Saint Augusta, or Saint Jerome, what would they think of us today? Sometimes I think that the saints, they’re in heaven, they probably say to themselves, “Wow, the church militant, the church on earth that we pray for, they are facing sins we could not possibly imagine.

I sometimes think that the saints in heaven, they thank God they were not born in the time and place that you and I live. I’m sure that they thank God, Lord, thank you for sparing me from the temptations that Christians are facing today. With all their heart, they pray on our behalf for these temptations they never had to face. You think about pornography, you go back to the time of Saint Augustan or Saint Jerome, when would you be able to view a sexual act or a naked person?

Maybe if you were like a peeping Tom and looked in on someone’s home or down by a river where somebody was bathing, but it certainly wasn’t something on demand. You didn’t carry a device in your pocket that could call up all kinds of filth and depravity with the touch of a keystroke. Yet, that’s we have today. Even children, children have that. People think, well, my kid really wants a smartphone. Yeah, well, you don’t give your children whatever they want. My three-year-old asked me, “Daddy, can I drive?” I don’t give him the keys to the car.

When my children are older, I will never, ever, ever let them have a smartphone. I almost want to call it a dumb phone because it would be dumb to give someone that. I sometimes even reconsider myself having a “smartphone,” because it’s a gigantic time suck for me. Sometimes I justify it saying, oh, well, I can respond on social media, I can respond to work emails, and I’m more efficient. Well, yeah, maybe I’m more efficient in those few moments, but then I lose efficiency when I’m just dawdling around on my phone, and then Laura asks me the question, like I’m away, I’m in another room. She’s like, “Trent, are you on your phone?”

I respond the way every husband does when their wife asks them a question and they’re in trouble. “What? I didn’t hear you.” Maybe something will change your mind. Here’s where I want to talk about pornography today. I was reading an article. It was in the New York Times by Nicholas Kristof, and it was called The Children of Pornhub. I was thinking to myself like, oh, this is this isn’t going to be good, but I need to check it out.

For those of you who aren’t aware, Pornhub is … It’s like YouTube, but for pornography… Listen to this Trent Horn episode .
