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 end porn sessions based on when you expect someone to return home or show up for an appointment?

 

Practical help

It's no fun viewing porn knowing you have only so many minutes before someone is scheduled to return home or visit your computer room. What if you forget to quit in time and someone catches you looking at smut?

The woman in the passage above must have known similar pressure — perhaps not on the day her husband left town, but certainly on each passing day as his return drew closer. Would he catch her sleeping with another man?

Such is sin. There is always a pressure, always a dread of being caught, of being stuck in it forever.

If this sounds like your situation, the Bible has good news for you. God can get rid of your pressures because he can get rid of your sins.

Stop hiding from him. Admit your sins, and claim his forgiveness. Porn and its pressures will soon enough lose their grip on you.
