temptation.
Passage: Luke 6:39-40*
39. He [Jesus] also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40. A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher."
Questions
1. What does this parable mean?
2. How can we apply the message to our struggles against pornography?
Practical help
"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
The old saw certainly applies to pornography. If you're trying to escape an addiction to smut, it doesn't help to hang around people who see no problem with the genre. They're morally blind.
Welcome to eXXit.org, an anti-porn site run by a bunch of one-eyed people. We may not have 20-20 vision on the issue, but we can make out some basic outlines. Namely, that pornography damages our relationships with others and with God. For chronically affected believers, it can even take the place of the Lord himself.
Keep visiting here for more ideas and encouragement from people like you — sighted strugglers. And surround yourself with other one-eyed kings closer to home.
