Today's
Three-minute Bible Study Passage:
Proverbs 16:32* Question Practical
help Though none of these areas seem
to relate to pornography, all of them do. That's
because all of them — including porn —
involve self control, or the lack of it. As Proverbs
says, a man who controls his temper is better than one
who can take a city. Oftentimes, Christians split
behavior into distinct units, such as prayer, diet,
and motoring. While that strategy can help you attack
a specific problem area, it can obscure the underlying
discipline needed to deal with the lot:
self-control. Instead of creating a special
plan to avoid pornography, think about how a
self-controlled life would look. Success in one area
(say, pornography) will likely lead to success in
others (even speeding).
