Passage: Proverbs 4:7* Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Questions 1. How does a wise person respond to Web porn?   2. What might that response cost?   Practical help Author Thomas Merton gave up a successful career to become a Trappist monk in the rural South. He lost everything he once valued to pursue God. Renouncing Web porn will cost us as well. Think it through: Sensations we enjoy will vanish. The thrill of the forbidden will dissipate. The engine of lust will slow. Though we will gain wisdom in its place, that understanding may "cost all you have." Like Merton, the wise will take that deal. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2003 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
