Human life and freedom are rooted in God

Human worth and freedom are rooted in God—if we insult or debase God, we inevitably debase humanity, diminish the value of human life, and pave the way for fear and slavery.

“In Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).

It is essential to question any new idea or trend to ensure it does not undermine God in any way. When a trend is sinful, it rejects God’s authority, and in doing so, undermines the human person. Sin distorts relationships, leading people to use others—even to the point of killing for personal gain. All this begins by discarding God as the Head and heart of both the human person and human society.

The human person needs God more than air itself, for their very existence depends on Him. Socially, the morality of others affects personal freedom. When others embrace sin, they grow selfish; and when selfishness grows, it often leads to violence and destruction. This strikes fear into others, limiting freedom of expression and movement.

God orders the hearts of men, and any departure from Him leads to chaos in both the individual and society. The relative peace we enjoy is proportionate to our alignment with reason and basic morality, both of which are sustained by God.

Our worth is, and always will be, rooted in God.

Example: is pornography good for soceity?

No. It disorders the heart, perverts love, and creates abusers who often transition from self-abuse to harming others in ways that extend beyond the sexual.

The core issue with pornography is that it represents a rejection of God and a preference for immediate gratification, elevating one’s appetites above God’s will.

And even if we ourselves have fallen prey to it, we must never lie about the evil of the act. Acknowledging its wrongness is the first step toward recovery. When a person breaks free from pornography, they regain many freedoms they had lost—not only in their sexuality but also in areas of life they never realized were connected to their sexual habits. True freedom begins with truth.

Yet, the world insists that pornography is “healthy” while simultaneously condemning sexual abuse and assault, failing to see the connection. Pornography doesn’t always lead to the complete erosion of self-control or self-worth, but it often does, and its destructive impact is undeniable.

As Christians, we reject this evil and all evils that contribute to it.
