strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Matthew
11:18-19*
18. "For John came neither
eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a
demon.'
19. The Son of Man came eating
and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a
drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners."
'But wisdom is proved right by her
actions.'"
Questions
1. What is Jesus driving
at in these verses?
2. How can they help us overcome
the temptation of Web porn?
Practical
help
Call it a case of damned
if you do, damned if you don't. Jesus and John the
Baptist tried many methods to invite people to God:
Talking of the kingdom of heaven, and gloom and doom.
Eating and drinking, and fasting and locust.
The point is sometimes methods
matter less than the result. Perhaps battling
pornography qualifies. After all, you know what
methods will help you resist temptation and which ones
won't. Be wise to what will help you go porn-free.
Some use prayer. Other rely upon accountability
partners. Still others depend on Web site-blocking
software. It doesn't matter which methods you use to
avoid pornography.
Just get there.
