to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual
temptation.
Passage: Proverbs 22:13*
The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!" or, "I will be murdered in the streets!".
Questions
1. Why does the sluggard voice unwarranted fears of harm?
2. How can we apply this lesson to Web porn?
Practical help
Disconnect the Internet. Install "Net Nanny" on your PC. Join an accountability group.
All three methods can help believers steer clear of Web porn — but good luck convincing some people to try them. If you make the attempt, out come the excuses:
"But I won't be able to get my e-mail!"
"But a Web blocker may keep me from legitimate sites!"
"But I don't have time to bare my soul once a week!"
Scripture has a label for these people: sluggards. They're too lazy to tend to the health of their souls. Rather than take necessary actions, they fear phantom dangers.
Learn from the sluggard. Don't allow laziness to convince you that the cure for Web porn is worse than the disease.
