Passages*: Romans 11:26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. 2 Corinthians 1:9-10 9. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.... Galations 1:4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.... 2 Timothy 4:18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 2:14-15 14. Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil — 15. and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 2 Peter 2:9 ...the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. Question How close are you to giving up your battle against porn?   Practical help In his second letter to the church at Corinth, Paul described his hard missionary journey through Asia. It was so hard, in fact, he thought he was going to die. Thus the verses from 2 Corinthians 1 above. No telling all that made the journey through Asia so tough. But Paul's comments could well describe our trek through today's porn-infested culture. Some days, we may just want to give up and die. You? If you feel like throwing in the towel in the smut battle, take heart from Paul's comment to the Corinthians: He figures that he and his companions went through hard times "that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead." So, if you're on the brink of giving in to porn, this is a good time to stop relying on your strength and start hoping anew for God's power to save the day. Say to yourself what Paul must have recited countless times in Asia: God "has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us...." Friends, set your hope on God, and stand strong!
