Keywords: "hiding" "sins of others"
Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

Passage: Proverbs 7:19-20* (a prostitute is trying to snare a customer)

19. My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.

20. He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon."

Question

Do you use someone else's sins to excuse your porn habit?

 

Practical help

In verse 20 above, what do you think the customer thought when the woman disclosed that her husband was out of town with lots of money?

Maybe: "The husband is probably shacking up in another town; I won't feel guilty sleeping with his wife while he's gone."

If your morality hinges on the immorality of other people, don't expect deliverance from porn. Want to give the slip to smut? Ignore the failures of others. Instead focus on Jesus' righteousness, which he freely imparts to all people who trust him for it.
