Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual
temptation.
Passage: Exodus 18:18*
"You [Moses] and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone."
Questions
1. What is the principle behind this verse?
2. How can we apply it to our struggles against pornography?
Practical help
To save you the trouble of learning the hard way, take it from us that it's almost impossible to beat pornography on your own.
Our sex-obsessed culture labors to titillate us 24/7. Bad habits lure us back to the same dead-end magazines and Web sites. And Satan prowls about seeking to exploit our weakness.
But Scripture suggests a simple defense against the iron triangle of the world, the flesh and the devil: Share the burden with others. As Jethro told Moses, we need some help with the heavy lifting.
Put this principle into action with pornography. Keep visiting eXXit.org. Or find an accountability partner to help you stay in line. Or ... use whatever strategy you can devise that invites others to pitch in.
After all, many hands make light work.
