Passage: Proverbs 4:18-27*
18. The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
19. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not
know what makes them stumble.
20. My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
21. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
22. for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's
whole body.
23. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of
life.
24. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from
your lips.
25. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before
you.
26. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.
27. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from
evil.

Practical help
Many folks stuck in Web porn realize they're stumbling around in
darkness.
Notice, however, that the passage above delivers a three-step remedy
for the dilemma:
1. Study words of wisdom (the Bible is full of them).
2. Guard your heart (be careful what you think about).
3. Set a good goal, and stick to it (e.g., meet regularly with
others in fellowship and Bible study).
There is no condemnation in this passage, only a diagnosis and cure.
So if you're hooked on porn and want out of it:
1. Admit you've got a problem.
2. Don't waste time condemning yourself.
3. Follow the prescription in this passage for a cure.
Many people have used these steps to resist porn. They're now
cheering you on to do likewise.
