Passage: Proverbs 6:9* How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? Question How could this verse help you resist pornography?   Practical help We all know the maxim: Idle hands are the devil's playground. But how many of us have pondered the corollary? What are busy hands? Proverbs 6:9 implies that they are God's fairground. After all, sluggishness often keeps us from doing what's necessary to eliminate our porn intake. Instead of turning away, we keep buying the magazines, visiting the sites, making the rounds. Inertia comes easily to smut sluggards. But why settle for a drab, depraved life? Let's replace the time we spend drooling over photos and stories with active goods, like mowing the lawn or playing with our kids. Compared to a workaday smut habit, even a cold shower sounds refreshing. So go ahead. Stir yourself into action. 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.
