Passage: Proverbs 2:16-18*
16. [Wisdom] will save you also from the adulteress, from the
wayward wife with her seductive words,
17. who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant
she made before God.
18. For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits
of the dead.
Question
What makes words seductive (see verse 16, above)?
Practical help
It's generally assumed that Web smut graphics have seductive power
— the ability to lead viewers astray.
But is this assumption entirely correct? Consider this: Underlying each graphic is a a
verbal message — words that say "come and get it." Words that seduce.
Next time you view porn, listen to what the graphic is saying, If you accept
the message, the graphic has seduced you as effectively as the "wayward wife" in
the passage above could entrap you "with her seductive words."
On the other hand, if you reject what the porn graphic is saying, you likely will be able
to resist it and surf to a clean site.
Want to resist porn's seductive words? Read the Bible daily, study it with friends and
memorize choice verses.
There's nothing like the Word of truth to put the lie to porn's seductive words.
