Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual
temptation.
Passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4*
3. For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;
4. that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
Questions
1. How would you describe God’s will for your life after meditating on these verses?
2. Have you become numb to the pressures of sexual temptation?
Practical help
The growing moral breakdown among Christians is alarming. The church in western societies has been so inundated with sexual stimuli that it is now open to direct attack by Satan in this area. No longer limited to subtle temptations, he now blatantly tempts us to immorality in ways that would have been ineffective only a few years ago. The availability of porn on the Web is an example of this.
We need to face the facts. Each one of us is vulnerable to sexual temptation, no matter what our age, marital status or maturity. You may be tempted to indulge in pornography. Or you may find yourself tempted to “play games” with persons to whom you are attracted, without actual sexual involvement. Incredibly, many Christians struggle with severe temptations to commit adultery, fornication, homosexual acts and even incest or child molestation. Tragically, many of them succumb.
What about you? Will you be one of those who end up as a lamb in Satan’s slaughter-house? Or will you walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, aware of the dangers and prepared to victoriously do battle with the forces of evil? Take action today and resist the temptations that the enemy throws your way. Cling to Jesus with all you might.
