Robbing God Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: Robbing God------------------------- Date: 5/25/2003 Keywords: "squander" "wealth" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: Proverbs 29:3* A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. Questions: 1. What does this verse mean?   2. How can we apply it to pornography?   Practical help Item: Pornography is a multibillion-dollar industry. Item: Believers who view smut in any form help bankroll the porn business. Item: God is not keen on wasting money on unbiblical sexual adventures (see Proverbs 29:3). Item: We rob God when we pour money into the coffers of smut merchants. To reverse the damage, calculate how much money you spend on pornography and redirect it to the Lord's work — to your church or needy missionaries. Make it easy on yourself and ask the beneficiaries of your newfound largesse to automatically withdraw the cash from your checking account. (Most parachurch organizations, for instance, offer this feature to donors.) Why squander your wealth when you can bring joy to your Father? 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.
