 What's your integrity worth?
One of the biggest problems facing the church today is internet pornography. It's often free, easily accessible from any computer, and its done in secret. It destroys families, (50% of divorces involve pornography) Statistics have shown that 84% of Korean American teenagers view online pornography. The guilt and shame they feel from it often drives them away from church and healthy relationships. Porn has been called the "drug of the 21st century", and while all Christians vocally speak out against it, many secretly struggle with it. However, one company is seeking to provide a service to the Christian who seeks to become or remain pure.
Instead of an internet filter, the people at Covenant Eyes have created a program that is practically impossible to bypass: internet accountability. You download the program and install it onto all the computers that you use. Then, you select a friend, mentor or pastor to hold you accountable. This is key. The program acts as your friend's eyes looking over your shoulder.
Covenant Eyes is geared towards anyone pursuing purity. There are men and women who use their service. Some of them have never struggled with lust, and in order to keep them from it, they use the Covenant Eyes program as an additional barrier. Others struggle with it daily and find the accountability helpful in their spiritual growth. Additionally, if you are tempted to uninstall the program, even for a brief period of time, the program will email your accountability partner to let them know. Here's what one of the current clients of Covenant Eyes has to say,
"The result is I have NEVER looked back. I have been free from porn since I committed to this and my life is dramatically different now. Every day gets easier to let go of that life and concentrate on my life and family. My marriage is stronger, my belief in myself is stronger and I can for the FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS say with conviction that I have moved on from that destructive life to a life of new found peace."
