The prevalence and extent of unchecked sexual activity creates a situation where to be different really makes you stand out from the crowd. Pornography, masturbation has more and more of a place in many cultures and societies. Also the practice and acceptance of homosexuality is possibly greater now than at any time in history.

Lust, fornication and adultery are the sins that have sent so many to eternal damnation and destruction. In this life they have ruined many giants even amongst men of God, destroyed careers, marriages and relationships. It has also drain wealth, cripple businesses. It has caused pain, weeping, death and untold suffering. It is a killer sin inside and outside. It affects one's life, in the life to come and even unborn generations.
