Inspiring violence should not be considered free speech
Upon returning to campus, one of the first things I saw was a student wearing a shirt that read “Porn Kills Love.” I was surprised to see someone wearing something so bold.
I also recently learned that men and women are aroused in entirely different ways (men almost exclusively visually, women through other things like romance and affection). It can be complicated for someone to imagine what the opposite gender experiences in this regard because the biological workings of the other will never be experienced personally.
Those who think these bans violate free speech fail to understand that right. Let’s explore the dif ference between the U.S.declared right to free speech and public free speech.
Lust kills love: Christians should reject temptations
continue to do so.
To all my sisters, I would say this to you: God made you beautiful. Your character and spirit best demonstrate that beauty. It’s not beauty as the world would have it, with the body being shown off in articles of clothing lacking fabric. Modest dress is truly attractive, as it is the more sensible option and reveals the heart of the person wearing it.
Real sex will never be seen on a screen because it happens in the privacy of the marriage bed, where God intended it. God-fearing Christian couples would not be posting that online. I imagine they would not even be recording it, as they would not need to. Each would enjoy the company of the other in the moment, have fond memories of previous experiences together and have great anticipation for their next time together. Neither recording nor uploading would be part of thisWhatequation.isseen on screen is God’s precious creation being defiled. The people on screen are engaging in something that was specially created and reserved for those who are married (Hebrews 13:4). The viewer is almost certainly looking at the screen lustfully, an action Jesus said is adultery (Matthew 5:28).

much heartache. Nobody would intentionally want their marriage, self-esteem or free time to suffer. While this industry shouldn’t be allowed to exist, people do have control over their actions. Christians also have God on their side, and he forgives anyone willing to repent. He has also blessed Christians with the Holy Spirit to help in times of trial andOnetemptation.instrumental book to read on this issue is “The Purity Principle” by Randy Alcorn. It’s concise, practical and biblically sound. It doesn’t tiptoe around any aspect of this, but only because no honest dialogue can. One can get through it in a couple of hours.
The right to free speech is not an unlimited free-forall: there are legal excep tions. The U.S. Courts Data base clarifies the parameters of this right: “Freedom of speech does not include the right to incite imminent law less action, to… distribute obscene materials.”

Let’s start with what went right, and there wasn’t much.
I especially enjoyed how Clapton extended and ex panded his rendition as it provided a more reggae sound, allowing him to shred several flawless guitar solos.

Af ter this, he performed three songs featured on his Gram my Award-winning album, “Unplugged.”Thetwohighlights from that set were “Tears in Heav en,” which is always a tough one to get through without

On Sept. 8, one of the alltime great guitarists, Eric Clapton, performed a spec tacular concert at the Schot tenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio. As I walked to my seat, I struggled to wrap my mind around how close I was to the stage that Clapton would soon stand on.
The issues with this film were numerous, which is frustrating considering the plot’s potential. Recently widowed Dr. Nate Samuels (Elba) and his daughters, Norah (Leah Jefferies) and Meredith (Iyanna Halley), take a trip to South Africa in search of family healing, but are instead stalked and at tacked by a rogue lion.
My anticipation reached its peak as Jimmie Vaughan, brother of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, took center stage to open. For any in-house blues fans, this was a treat.
