The Missing Ingredient Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: The Missing Ingredient-------------------------- Date: 8/25/2001 Keywords: "faith" "knowledge" "truth" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: Hebrews 4:2* For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Question What do you think of the anti-porn advice on eXXit?   Practical help Fess up. Perhaps you've been reading the how-to advice on eXXit and thinking, "This stuff won't work for me. I know myself. I'll try and fail. That's how it always works for me." Maybe you're right. A self-centered approach may derail your efforts (see the August 20, 2001, study). Questionable approaches to the issue may set you back (see the August 21, 2001, study). Or you could fail because of the problem raised by the Hebrews verse: a lack of faith. Knowing the truth does you no good unless you add faith — the missing ingredient — to the mix. The truth is, you can beat pornography. Do you believe it? An accountability partner can help you keep the right perspective. All of us stumble, but not all of us have someone to lift us back up. Find someone you trust who can give you the encouragement you need to continue. And put your faith into action. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
