Questions 1. Do you conceal your visits to web porn sites?   2. Why do you conceal the visits?   3. Does the fact that you conceal your visits indicate something about your actions?   Helpful hints The problem with concealing our faults is that guilt continues to build up inside us. Satan lies when he tells us that people aren't getting hurt by something we do as long as they don't know about it. The truth is that we continue to hurt ourselves by participating in things which keep us away from God. Suggestions: 1. Talk with God, and ask for His help to break the temptation of web porn. 2. Ask a friend for help as well. A true friend will not show contempt, but love and patience. 3. Don't fight this battle alone. Ask for help. It's no secret that we all need help from time to time. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 1998, 2004 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
