After my last post about porn, my mind wandered there again after watching this short video with Eugene Peterson about the advantage pastor-in-the-pulpit-preaching has over mass media.
The difference which stood out for me was that the flesh and blood pastor knows you name. They have a relationship with you. They have shared life with you. They know, not only your, but the churches history and current struggles.
For whilst the Driscoll, Piper, Young, Noble, ect... sermons might be of superior quality with more engaging illustrations, funnier jokes, greater applied truth and sharper lights and sound, they don't know you.
This is why the Sunday morning preacher will trump the streamed pod-cast in the long run.
The same can be said for porn.
The sex may well be of superior quality. It is manufactured to be that way. It is produced to be clear, crisp and in full HD.
Your spouse should trump porn because porn doesn't know your name.
