Who's watching you?

Not quite sure what we intend to achieve with this blog, or really what qualifies as suitable content - but I think a big part of it should involve making people aware of resources online be it software, videos, sermons, certain websites etc.

The single most vital piece of software I've ever been directed to is X3 watch. It is developed by xxxchurch.com and basically watches everything you look at online - before reporting any seemingly dodgy sites at the end of each week/month to any number of accountability partners nominated by you.

Any male reading this (and likely some females) will be more than aware of the huge damage that pornography addiction, and habitual masturbation is doing within the worldwide church - it would seem that very very few men are exempt from this issue. Yet, as individuals and as a church, we're afraid to do anything about it, instead we're happy to ignore it!

Don't want this to be a full blown porn post - although that will without doubt come soon - just didn't want anyone to be without excuse for not having x3 on their computer any longer! Watch how quickly the porn consumption drops when you know your friend/pastor/wife is getting an email detailing it at the end of the week!

Amen to that! Pornography is so pervasive on the Internet. The adult Internet is the fastest expanding segment of the U.S. adult entertainment market. I've read some stats that say the Internet hosts 1.6 million Web sites, meaning hundreds of millions of pages, images and videos.

Thanks for listing some of these free resources. Thanks for listing some of these accountability options.

I'm curious: have you heard of the Covenant Eyes accountability program? Covenant Eyes has a promotional code you can use to get a free month to try out their accountability service. Go to www.covenanteyes.com and enter promocode 'onefree' to receive a free 30 day trial of the program.
