Passage: Ecclesiastes 10:2* A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left. Question How does this verse relate to viewing Internet pornography?   Practical help Where are you going in life? How is viewing pornography helping you with answering this important question? Let this verse help you understand that the contamination of your heart by smut can affect your life’s direction as profoundly as turning right is different from turning left. When you permit pornography into you heart, your moral compass is jammed. The needle that should direct you north is pointing south. If you have been slimed by porn, acknowledge it as foolish, turn around and walk the other way. But perhaps you think God will not forgive you. I commend two verses about the heart in Psalm 51*. 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2000 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
