Josh McDowell Ministries and Covenant Eyes commissioned the new Barna study, "The Porn Phenomenon." According to the Christian Post, the findings were presented in New York City this week.
Faith leaders who participated in the study said they often accidentally stumble on porn online. More than half of the pastors who participated said they struggled with porn in the past or are currently struggling with it.
"I'll tell you right now, there is not one church, one Christian leader, one pastor, including myself, that has an answer for it," said Josh McDowell, founder of Josh McDowell Ministries, after the findings from the study were presented. "No traditional message of solution will work."
More than 3,100 pastors and leaders participated anonymously in the survey.
McDowell and Covenant Eyes are hosting the Set Free Global Summit in April in North Carolina for pastors struggling with porn.
More than 70,000 have been invited and only seven have registered for the event.
“Right now the Church, to its disgrace, is trying to fix broken men and we are not raising healthy children. Everybody says when it comes to children, parents are on the frontline. I say no, the pastor is on the frontline. Because if the pastor, the church does not take its responsibility and work with parents, train parents, educate parents, and I don't just mean biblically — scientifically, medically culturally," said McDowell
The
Senate has started the debate on the 2016 Appropriation Bill after
agreeing with President Muhammadu Buhari to treat “the lost but found
copy”.
Though much has not changed in the N6.08 Trillion budget, there are fears about how the government will raise money to run the budget with the main source of income, the crude, falling in value by the day.
At present a barrel of petrol is sold for $38 and there are indications that the price may still go down. The budget is big, the income is dwindle yet the allocations for some departments and utilities are spurious, judging by what the public are expecting.
New assembly, new cars; new presidency, new office rehabilitations. And so Buhari’s government must appropriate funds for these.
A letter from the president on the corrected copy of the budget was read on Tuesday by the senate president, Bukola Saraki, during senate plenary and a peep into the document suggests a little difference between ex-president Goodluck Jonathan’s N5 Trillion Budget and the present one. Now in the area of office and residence rehabilitation.
One would have expected president Buhari to cut the budget on Rehabilitation/repairs of residential buildings and electricity facilities as he did for purchase of exotic cars.
