The Moral Collapse of America (4 of 5)
The Poison of Pornography
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
1 Thessalonians 4:3-7

We are continuing this morning our series of messages on The Moral Collapse of America, because America is sick! America is in trouble! And if America doesn't change her direction, she will fade away and go the way of the other great world empires who have turned their back on God!

And listen to the testimony of one woman who said that an addiction "is something that is on my mind almost all the time. If I'm awake, I'm either feeling guilty about what I've done, thinking about doing what I s ...
