Time’s Up Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: Time’s Up-------------------------- Date: 8/6/2001 Keyword: "time" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: 1 Peter 4:3* For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousals, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. Questions 1. What are "the desires of the Gentiles"?   2. Peter says that his readers should not seek to fulfill these desires anymore. Why?   Practical help Peter’s rationale for his reader’s abstinence from all of these sinful behaviors is surprisingly simple: Time’s up! That’s right. He says to his first century -- and his twenty-first century -- readers, "You’ve wasted enough time already on false worship, substance abuse and illicit sex. It’s time to invest in something more productive." Well, there’s something really practical for every eXXit reader. Life’s too short and time’s too precious to waste on something as hollow as porn! No matter how much time you have given to porn, if you’ve given it any, you’ve given it too much. Look around at the investments you could be making for eternity -- worshipping God, sharing the Good News of Jesus with friends and family, pursuing a God-honoring lifestyle. Look at the clock. It’s ticking and you’re not getting any younger. NOW is the time to be done with porn. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
