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

Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:13*

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Question

What tempts you the most to sin?

 

Practical help

Do you think your...
• Porn temptations are so powerful and/or your resistance to them so pathetic that you're beyond God's help?

• Sexual interests are so weird and/or their causes so bizarre that there's no way for you to stand strong?

If you answer yes to either or both questions, the verse above has good news for you. It claims there is "no temptation" that can outsmart God.

There's more good news in this verse, which we'll get to in successive studies.

But this news won't make much sense if you believe your temptation is so gross that even God won't come near enough to help.

Truth is, he will, and he does. Believing this fact is the first step to victory over your temptation.
