What Do You Love? Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: What Do You Love? ------------- Date: 01/09/1999 Keywords: "love" "lust" "world" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: 1 John 2:15-16* 15. Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16. For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does-comes not from the Father but from the world. Questions 1. After reading the definition in the passage above of what is from the world, where do you think Internet pornography is from?   2. Is there any way that viewing Internet pornography can be from God?   3. Is the addiction of viewing Web porn a form of loving God or the world?   Practical help Many things in life can be harmful. We should always ask ourselves if something is for our good or detriment. Web porn may seem to be pleasant and gratifying, but it is obvious that it is not from God, so it is actually harmful. Our love should be for the one who loves us, and that is God. If you are caught up in Web porn, turn to God, who is interested only in what is truly good for you. Seek out a friend who can pray with and for you and hold you accountable. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 1999 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
