Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Psalm 139:1-2*
1. O LORD, Thou hast
searched me and known me.
2. Thou dost know when I sit
down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my
thought from afar.
Questions
1. Have you managed to
hide your porn problem from loved ones and
friends?
2. Does anyone know you better
than you do?
Practical
help
When I was a kid and
didn't have an answer to a question I'd often respond
with a "Search me?" as if to guarantee that a thorough
search would indeed prove that I didn't have the
answer.
Do you find yourself responding
like this when the clutches of porn are wrapped so
tight that you wonder if you'll get another
breath?
Well, here's freedom for another
breath God has searched you and He knows you.
You're not hiding anything from His knowledge. Not the
times of appreciation when you avoided the lure of
smut or the times of regret when you didn't. When you
fall prey to porn and later ask yourself "What was I
thinking?" believe this God knows, even if you
don't.
Sounds scary, but it's not.
Having this problem laid bare before the God who made
you is (as it's now popular to say) huge. God's love
and grace are much bigger than your
problem.
