Passage: Proverbs 17:1*

A dry crust eaten in peace is better than a great feast with strife.

Question

How do porn and peace of heart mix?

 

Practical help

The Scripture above reminds us that peace is better than strife.

Obvious, you say. But do you apply this truth to your Web viewing habits?

The Internet serves up a feast of visuals, much of it stimulating. No problem so far.

But when the images cause you to feel internal strife — shame, guilt, foolishness — you might wonder if the experience is worth it.

The passage above say's it isn't.

So if smut produces strife in your heart, why not change to something more peace-giving?

To paraphrase the proverb above, "Even a dull site viewed in peace is better than porn viewed in shame."
