Passage:
Luke 9:23-25*
23. And He [Jesus]
was saying to them all [the disciples], "If
anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
24. "For whoever wishes to save
his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for
My sake, he is the one who will save it.
25. "For what is a man profited
if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits
himself?"

Practical
help
Have you personally
considered who Jesus Christ was and is? Have you let
His teachings into your mind, or are you still
throwing up roadblocks? If you've embraced His
teachings, you no doubt have experienced the
excitement of considering His power. He can support
you without any worldly props. He can feed multitudes
effortlessly. Who doesn't want to be around someone
like that?
In your gut you already know
that pornography is holding you back from being free
and effective in life. Jesus says, "Follow Me." Ask
Him into your life (click

then seek to know Him better daily. When you seek to
follow Him you will in time lose the appetite for
living a self-centered life.
