Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual
temptation.
Passage: Proverbs 5:8*
Keep to a path far from [the adulteress], do not go near the door of
her house. . . .
Question
How can we apply the message of this verse to our struggles with
pornography?
Practical help
As this passage of wisdom literature makes clear, sometimes the best
way to stay out of trouble is to steer clear of trouble's neighborhood. Now this ancient
truth has a new application.
Many travelers struggle with the pay-for-porn services provided by
hotel chains. That's why Omni Hotel owner Robert Rowling pulled the plug on porn in the 30
sites he runs. (The nine non-Rowling franchises still offer pornography.) The decision
cost him $4 million in lost revenue and replaced equipment, but he believes helping
families is worth the price.
So the next time you travel, check into the Omni. And give your
self-control a breather.
