to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Proverbs 13:4*
The soul of the sluggard
craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent
is made fat.
Questions
1. How much time do you
waste day dreaming?
2. How much of your day dreaming
has been consumed by sexual fantasizing.
3. How do you think your viewing
pornography affects the quality of your imagination
and your productivity?
Practical
help
Pornography is like
plastic food. It might look good from a distance, but
there is no way it will nourish that part of your soul
that craves love. Yet you may be hooked on the
illusion to the point where your soul is near
starvation. In fact things may be so bad that your
soul might be rejecting the very things that could
revive your life and fill it with joy, peace, hope,
purpose, quality relationships, and a host of other
good things.
If you are playing with porn, it
might be that you have been hurt and are hiding out.
It might be that you are just lazy and used to things
being given to you. Whatever the reason, you can
continue to hide behind it as an excuse, or you can
choose to take steps to walk away. Think of one or two
good things you could do today that would move you
toward freedom from this addiction, and implement
them. As you move, you will discover momentum to do
even more.
