Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Psalm 107:10-16*
10. There were those who
dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,
prisoners in misery and chains,
11. Because they had rebelled
against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of
the Most High.
12. Therefore He humbled their
heart with labor; they stumbled and there was none to
help.
13. Then they cried out to the
LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their
distresses.
14. He brought them out of
darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their
bands apart.
15. Let them give thanks to the
LORD for His lovingkindness, and for His wonders to
the sons of men!
16. For He has shattered gates
of bronze, and cut bars of iron asunder.
Questions
1. Have you ever rejected
really good advice?
2. Has anyone (even God,
through the Bible) advised you to steer clear of
porn?
Practical
help
No one ever wants to hear
"I told you so!" but all of us need to hear it sooner
or later.
God's word, the Bible, is full
of really wise and useful commands and advice. It also
contains many stories of those who listened to them
and those who didn't.
Has a porn habit got you
dwelling in the darkness of a dimly lit room behind a
closed door? Do you feel like you're a prisoner to the
habit. Do you feel chained to mouse, always needing to
click to the next porn site?
The sex drive is a really strong
force -- but it's not stronger than the ability
God gives you to handle it as the precious gift it is.
That handling can bring you joy and make God proud,
but it's not always simple. In fact, you'll probably
need to read the instructions -- the Bible. (Start by
reading 1 Corinthians 6.)
