Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage: Deuteronomy 4:9*
Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not
forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live
Questions
1. What is the upshot of this verse?
2. How can we apply it to our struggles with pornography?
Practical help
No matter how many times the coyote takes on the roadrunner, the
results remain the same: an anvil on the head, an Acme explosive accident, a whistling
drop to the bottom of a canyon. If the coyote could only remember what he'd already tried,
maybe he'd have a shot.
When it comes to pornography, we're much the same. We know some
effective avoidance tactics -- like accountability partners and web screeners -- but we
fail to use them ... and we fall to our own destruction.
Take a memo from the Israelites, who were forever forgetting recent
and ancient history: Remember the strategies that keep you away from porn. Then keep doing
them.
