A Stark Choice Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: A Stark Choice------------------- Date: 4/24/2003 Keywords: “choice" "pleasure” Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: 2 Timothy 3:4* [In the end times, people will be]...lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.... Questions 1. How does the apostle Paul's description of the end times square with your view of today's world?   2. What can it tell us about resisting Web porn?   Practical help Sometimes life presents stark choices. They aren't good vs. good or bad vs. bad or even good vs. better. Some are simply good vs. bad. Web porn presents such a choice. Smut exemplifies Paul's description of one of the attributes of the end times: People will be "lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God." Web porn is not a godly pleasure like sex within marriage or love between friends or enjoyment of a good day's work. It's a total negative. But what to do? Paul spells out the answer in the next verse. Have "nothing" to do with such things (verse 5). For Christians, Web porn must go. Move past the choosing stage now. Say no to Web porn — and live accordingly. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2003 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
