The Point Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: The Point ------------------- Date: 2/28/2001 Keywords: "faith" "hope" "love" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passages: 1 Corinthians 13:13* And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Question How can Paul's axiom apply to your struggles against pornography?   Practical help Quick: Don't think about your favorite porn star. Did it work? Probably not. One of the annoying qualities of the human mind is its tendency to fixate on the very things it tries to suppress. (Freud built a profitable psychiatric practice on this fact.) The way out of this dilemma? Concentrate on experiencing the good, not on battling the bad. For Christians, that means focusing on the eternal verities: faith, hope and love. That's the point of the Christian life. This week, zero in on 1 Corinthians 13:13. You might find yourself too busy believing God, hoping in the best and loving others to think about porn stars. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
