Passage: Proverbs 1:7-10* 7. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. 8. Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. 9. They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. 10.

Just think of it as dirty Web sites and sex magazines. All things, not people. But porn is about people, not things. This is especially the case with how it tempts us. Calculating people, not clever Web technology or photo mags, entice us. Let's remember this next time we're drawn to porn. Unscrupulous people (e.g., smut publishers and actors) are trying to entrap you. As verse 10 above warns, don't let them. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
