Practical help

Is your life in confusion, steering off course? If yes, it might be because you have too many bosses.

If one of the bosses is Web porn, expect to veer off course often -- maybe getting stuck in a ditch.

If you're in a ditch now, Proverbs 28:2 offers a ramp out: Become a person of understanding. Namely, know and avoid the perils of smut. Gradually, order will come back to your life. "Gradually," because understanding sometimes comes slowly. Truth may take time to sink in.

For now, resolve to know and understand the truth about porn dangers. In due time, order will return to your life, and smut will lose its grip.
