Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

Passage: Proverbs 11:22*

Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.

Question

When is beauty ugly?

 

Practical help

When is "beauty" laughable? Pitiable?

Despite it's glitz, even glamour, porn is pretty pathetic.

Good-looking men and women reduced to selling their bodies.

Decent men and women stooping to admire and envy the images.

Maybe it's time for a refresher course on good art.

Check out the best text on beauty — the Bible. Open the last book of the Bible (Concordance, not Revelation), and look up passages on art, craftsmanship, beauty and the human body. (Click here to search if your Bible doesn't have a Concordance.)

See if this refresher course isn't also a restorer course. Of your good taste, and your ability to say no to trash.
