Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

Passage: Proverbs 6:27-29*

27. Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?

28. Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?

29. So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

Question

What cause-and-effect principle is presented in the verses above?

 

Practical help

Sleep with another person's spouse, and you have hell to pay. Obvious natural and logical consequences.

Yet, despite such sure-as-the-sun-will-rise outcomes, some folks continue to bed other people's spouses.

Same with Web porn visits. View the crap, and you poison your mind, your marital relationship, your walk with God. So why do you keep viewing porn?

If you visit smut sites but pray to God you could stop, take heart. He understands, hears and loves you. Other men and women have fallen for porn's lure but can attest to God's power to help them stand strong eventually.

So pray to God you can stop your porn pastimes. It may take time to stop. Just rest assured God will give you the power in due time. Meanwhile, thank him in advance for the victory.

We at eXXit know the battle for your affections is fierce. But we know God is faithful to help. We're rooting for you.
