Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Revelation
2:4-5*
4. Yet I hold this against
you: You have forsaken your first love.
5. Remember the height from
which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you
did at first.
Questions
1. What factor proved that
the church in Ephesus had lost its first love?
2. How can you apply this
principle to your struggle with Web porn?
Practical
help
Ask a senior citizen about
the good old days, and likely as not
youll get an earful about how bad those times
actually were. The Great Depression (in capital
letters). War rationing. No Wheel of
Fortune.
On the other hand, looking back
over your spiritual history might help you remember
truly good old days and a solution to your
current porn struggles. In Revelation, Jesus asked the
Ephesian church to recall their former allegiance to
him. Then he called on them to go back to the better
way of life that flowed from that strong
commitment.
We can do the same with Web
porn. Did you once vow not to see any of it and curbed
your behavior accordingly? Renew that vow today. Start
doing the same things you did back then. And make the
good old days the good new ones.
