The faith community is facing a genuine crisis in our marriages. The sexualization of our culture and easy access to pornography are having a devastating impact on faithfulness, sexual purity and the strength of marriages. The impact is not only found among our congregations but among our church leaders as well.<\/p>\n
Marriage is God’s design for intimacy and self-sacrificing love of one another. This intimacy is spiritual, emotional and physical and is uniquely designed by God for the blessing of His people.<\/p>\n
The Religious Alliance Against Pornography<\/a> (RAAP), which began in 1986, has been actively involved in uniting people of many faith groups against the issues of pornography. The International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) has been a member of this group for several years. In an effort to raise awareness and help the church address these issues, RAPP and the IPHC will offer two informational webinars in 2017. The first webinar is designed for families and will be held May 9, at noon EDT and May 18, at 8 p.m. EDT. This webinar will tell the real story of pornography\u2019s impact on marriages and explore the extent of the problem within the faith community, the addictive nature of pornography and present practical strategies for hope and restoration.<\/p>\n This is a free event but registration<\/a> is required. A second webinar will be held in the Fall and will focus on the issue of pornography and youth.<\/p>\n We believe these broadcasts will be a tremendous resource for IPHC pastors, churches and families.

La sexualizaci\u00f3n de nuestra cultura y el f\u00e1cil acceso a la pornograf\u00eda est\u00e1n teniendo un impacto devastador sobre la fidelidad, la pureza sexual y la fuerza de los matrimonios. El impacto no s\u00f3lo se ha hallado en nuestras congregaciones, pero entre nuestros l\u00edderes de la iglesia tambi\u00e9n. El matrimonio es el dise\u00f1o de Dios para la intimidad y el amor abnegado de los unos a los otros. Esta intimidad es espiritual, emocional y f\u00edsico y est\u00e1 dise\u00f1ado de forma \u00fanica por Dios por la bendici\u00f3n de su pueblo. La Alianza Religiosa contra la pornograf\u00eda<\/a> (RAAP), que comenz\u00f3 en 1986, ha participado activamente en la uni\u00f3n de personas de muchos grupos religiosos contra los problemas de la pornograf\u00eda. La Iglesia Pentecostal de Santidad Internacional (IISP) ha sido miembro de este grupo desde hace varios a\u00f1os. En un esfuerzo por aumentar la conciencia y ayudar a la direcci\u00f3n de la iglesia estas cuestiones, RAPP y la IISP ofrecer\u00e1 dos seminarios web informativos en 2017. El primer seminario est\u00e1 dise\u00f1ado para familias y se llevar\u00e1 a cabo 9 de mayo al mediod\u00eda EDT y 18 de mayo, a las 8 pm EDT. Este seminario contar\u00e1 la historia real del impacto de la pornograf\u00eda en los matrimonios y explorar el alcance del problema dentro de la comunidad de fe, la naturaleza adictiva de la pornograf\u00eda y presentar estrategias pr\u00e1cticas para la esperanza y la restauraci\u00f3n. Este es un evento gratuito, pero el registro<\/a> es necesario. Un segundo seminario se llevar\u00e1 a cabo en el oto\u00f1o y se centrar\u00e1 en el tema de la pornograf\u00eda y la juventud. Creemos que estas emisiones ser\u00e1n un gran recurso para la IISP pastores, iglesias y familias. Para m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n, p\u00f3ngase en contacto con la IISP Desarrollo Ministerial<\/a> .
