3. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;

4. that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable,

5. not in passionate lust like the heathen who do not know God;

1. What is sexual immorality?

 

2. Is pornography a part of sexual immorality?

 

3. How do you avoid sexual immorality?

 

4. Can one avoid sexual immorality while viewing Internet pornography?

 

Practical help

Is God's will important to you? Paul told us that God wants us to avoid sexual immorality, but that is easier said than done. How can you avoid sexual immorality?
1. Realize that if God wants us to do something, it can be done. He does not ask us to do something we are incapable of doing.

2. Ask God to help you recognize all the forms of sexual immorality, like Internet pornography, so that you can avoid them.

3. Find a trustworthy friend who will help you to say no to web porn.
