Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual
temptation.
Passage: Romans 6:17-18*
17. But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin,
you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to
righteousness.
Questions
1. What did the believers do after they were set free from slavery
to sin?
2. How would wholehearted obedience differ from forced or obligatory
obedience?
3. What commands of God do you already know that would make a
difference in your life if you remembered them on a regular basis and obeyed them
wholeheartedly?
4. What form of teaching have present day believers been entrusted
with?
Practical help
This website has been going strong for over a year now helping
people stand against the temptation to internet porn. The inexhaustible resource behind
this website is available to you too - that's right - the Bible. It is full of practical
help and life changing truth. It also contains some brutally honest stories about how
miserable sinners found new life and strength with God, even after devastating failures.
How can you put this resource to work in your struggle against temptation?
Here are a few suggestions:
- If you've been weighed down with guilt over your involvement with
porn, chances are you've been avoiding opening your Bible - get over it! The Bible is full
of stories about people involved with sins every bit as vile as yours. And some of them
are going to be in heaven. Why? If you don't know why, click here.
- As suggested in yesterday's study, when you find passages that help
you avoid temptation, print or write them out and post them where you'll see them when you
need them most. Try committing some of them to memory.
- Consider leaving an open Bible on your computer desk or in the chair
where you sit at your computer, so you'll have to move it to sit down. No magic here, just
a reminder that God's word is a powerful source of help and guidance.
- Are you involved in any kind of Bible study with other people? If
not, consider finding one in your church or community.
- Make a commitment that each day you log onto the internet you will
check out that day's Bible study on this website.
