Title: Build Your Strategy for Ongoing Purity, Part 1------------------- Date: 4/25/2003
Keywords: “temptation” “vulnerability”
Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

This is the first of a twelve-part series designed to help you build a strategy for ongoing sexual purity. The first six parts will be posted this month, and the last six will be posted in late May.

Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:12*

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

Questions

1. This verse contains a warning. Who is it for?

 

2. How aware are you to your own vulnerability to sexual sin?

 

Practical help

We need to face the facts. Each of us is vulnerable to sexual temptation no matter what our age, marital status or maturity. You might be tempted to indulge in pornography, or you might find yourself tempted to play games with persons to whom you are attracted. Many Christians struggle with very strong temptations to view porn or commit adultery, fornication, homosexual acts and even incest or child molestation. Tragically, many give in to these temptations.

What about you? Can you see the need to take action and work on your personal strategy for purity? You may already be in trouble, or you may simply need to be strengthened in this area.

Action Point 1: Accept your personal vulnerability to immorality, and continue to grow in understanding your own personal responses to sexual temptation.

More tomorrow.
