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

With this study, we continue our look at a short passage in the book of Job.

Passage: Job 31:1-4*

1. I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.

2. For what is man's lot from God above, his heritage from the Almighty on high?

3. Is it not ruin for the wicked, disaster for those who do wrong?

4. Does he not see my ways and count my every step?

Questions

1. Paraphrase verses 2 and 3 by asking: "If I choose to take the wrong path down the Internet highway, what might I expect to happen in the long run?"

 

2. List some things you could "ruin" if you choose to continue down the wrong path.

 

3. Finally, ask yourself if the possible long-term consequences are worth the fleeting moments of stimulation.

 

Practical help

In His grace, God will indicate when you're heading down a path to ruin. Don't ignore Him. If you ask, He will also give you the ability to make a right choice. Why not ask Him now?
