Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help
you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.
eXXit advertises
itself as a Web site designed to help you "stand strong in the face of
sexual temptation." In Galatians 5:22-23, the apostle Paul lists nine
"fruit of the Spirit," fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in the life
of the believer. Each of these fruits — if produced — will greatly aid
a believer who seeks to "stand strong."
At eXXit, we believe
that:
The fruit of
the Spirit is produced in the life of a healthy Christian, just as
apples appear on a healthy apple tree.
If there is any love or
joy or peace in a Christian, it is ultimately the work of
God.
Christians can
cooperate with the Spirit's desire to produce His fruit in their
lives by yieldedness, faith, obedience and involvement in
ministry.
We hope you enjoy and
benefit from these meditations on Galatians 5! Send us any feedback.
We'd love to know what you think.
Passage: Romans 12:2*
And do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove
what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and
perfect.
Questions
1. According to Paul, what happens when
God graciously renews your mind?
2. Do you consider yourself evidence of God's
goodness?
Practical help
Can you imagine a God who expects your
very life to be a proof of what his goodness is?
Sounds like an absurd responsibility especially if
you find yourself battling a habit like pornography, which often
leaves you feeling anything but good.
Every day (every moment, really) you have an
opportunity to accept a gift from God. This gift is a new way to
decide on your choices. God offers you this new decision making
ability by offering you a renewed mind -- one based on his goodness,
not your own.
If you're ready to be proof of how good God is,
then I urge you to take hold of this gift. If you've never received
this gift, then click here.
