Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.
The
current studies look at some verses from the brief New
Testament epistle by Jude.
Passage:
Jude verses
17-25*
17. But, dear friends,
remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
foretold.
18. They said to you, "In the
last times there will be scoffers who will follow
their own ungodly desires."
19. These are the men who divide
you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have
the Spirit.
20. But you, dear friends, build
yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the
Holy Spirit.
21. Keep yourselves in God's
love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus
Christ to bring you to eternal life.
22. Be merciful to those who
doubt;
23. snatch others from the fire
and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with
fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted
flesh.
24. To him who is able to keep
you from falling and to present you before his
glorious presence without fault and with great
joy--
25. to the only God our Savior
be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus
Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!
Amen.
Question
In what ways do you want
God "to keep you from falling"?
Practical
help
It's a good thing to know
that there's something more powerful than porn.
Make that
someone.
So when we struggle to stand
strong, let's call in that someone to keep us
from falling. Namely God.
As we do that, we don't retire
from the battle, leaving God at the front
lines.
We remain in the battle, only
now with an all-powerful ally beside us.
Today, when smut sneers
defiantly at you, don't jeer back. Just call in God,
and stand strong in his power.
