temptation.
Passage: 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3*
2. We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers.
3. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Questions
1. How much on-line porn would there be in no one paid for it?
2. How productive are you at resisting porn's temptation?
Practical help
Big business, small business, any business -- they're always seeking the key to increased productivity. If they can produce just one more high quality widget per hour then profits go up.
Porn is big business and if your a porn struggler, then you're part of the productivity curve. If they can get you to cough up that credit card number just one more night per week then cha-ching -- it's profit time.
But what about you? Are you feeling good about your part in this economic curve? Where's your profit?
Verse 3 above gives you a key to increased productivity in resisting temptations -- faith. If you've taken hold of faith in God (click here, if you're not sure) then God will work in you to make you stronger than you thought you could be. You see it won't be your work, but his, produced in you.
Try this before the next time you go on-line. Put your credit card(s) in a place very inconvenient to get to and then have faith that you'll resist the temptation to give up the card number before you can get to the card(s).
