Title: THIS MEANS YOU ------------------- Date: 2/26/2001
Keywords: "friends" "wise"
Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

Passages: Proverbs 13:20*

He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

Questions

1. Do you apply the message of this proverb to your relationships?

 

2. How can it help you steer clear of porn?

 

Practical help

In a clear case of "do as I say, not as I do," many parents will travel miles to get their children into the right youth group but not act to avoid negative peer pressure in their own lives. How many of us, for instance, have close friends who tolerate — or even appreciate — pornography?

Perhaps you feel the message doesn't apply to you because, after all, you're no longer a whippersnapper. Unfortunately, there's no age limit on Proverbs. In the margin of your Bible next to Proverbs 13:20, write in all caps THIS MEANS YOU.

Then take the message to heart: If you have trouble with porn, avoid people who condone it in any fashion. Your spiritual life will be the better for it.
