Half of Clergy Members View Porn Each Month

by Ingrid Schlueter

The creeping deadness in Christian churches can be attributed to many things. False doctrine is one of them. An endemic, man-centered emphasis that has created circus churches is another. But what about the pathetic spiritual condition in churches that publicly have all their doctrinal ducks in a row? How do you explain the lack of power, the prayerlessness, the underlying sense of deadness in so many churches that are supposedly sound? Perhaps there is a clue found in the recently released findings of a study that reported half of all clergy are viewing porn.

Years ago, I heard a pastor in New York City preach a powerful message about private sins among Christians and the deadening effect it has on churches. The Holy Spirit departs, and all that is left is the dead letter. All that remains is flesh to try to accomplish what God alone can accomplish.

That pastor mentioned that due to his national ministry to pastors, he received letters from around the world. He told of hearing from hundreds of pastors’ wives whose lives had been shattered by internet porn. Pastors’ studies, once a place where ministers of the Gospel would seek the Lord on their knees, have become places where raw moral sewage is flowing from the worst websites in existence.

The enemy has used porn to derail more lives and ministries than probably anything else. It’s as close as typing a short three-letter word into a search engine. If half of all pastors are watching this filth, you can only guess at what the laity is doing. Worst of all, according to Pure Life ministries, more and more women are falling into the cess pool. The growing number of child-molesting females is a testimony to what has been unleashed.

We are living at a time that resembles the that of Noah. Everyone, including tens thousands of professing Christian pastors, seems to be doing what is right in their own eyes. Scripture tells us that judgment begins at the house of God. Porn-viewing pastors, and porn viewing Christians in general, have reason to tremble.
