Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual
temptation.
Passage: Psalm 63:8*
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
Questions
1. What does a clinging soul and a upholding hand look like in real life?
2. How can they help us shun Web porn?
Practical help
A nomination for the best false bumper sticker: "IF GOD SEEMS FAR AWAY, GUESS WHO MOVED?" Despite how we may feel about God's proximity, the Bible promises that Jesus "will never leave us or forsake us." Whether our souls cling or not, his upholding hand remains constant.
That's good news for Christians weary of battling Web porn. Our failures may cause us to question God's nearness and support, yet neither depend on our actions. Upshot: No matter what our emotional state, we can call on God to lend us strength to overcome our temptations. Do it today, and make Psalm 63:8 your rallying cry.
