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

Passage: Proverbs 23:26-28*

26. Give me your heart, my son,
And let your eyes delight in my ways.

27. For a harlot is a deep pit,
And an adulterous woman is a narrow well.

28. Surely she lurks as a robber,
And increases the faithless among men.

Questions

1. What is it that sexual sin (like the harlot) robs us of?

 

2. What can you do to protect yourself from getting ripped off?

 

Practical help

The idea of a fling with an adulterous woman may promise some sense of exhilaration and satisfaction. Web porn is like that. The problem is that she takes more than she gives. The price is your character. Web porn is like that, too!

Resist the pull to use smut today. It will cost you dearly if you give in. Ask yourself, is it really worth it? It may seem difficult to resist in the beginning, but let your delight be in the Lord Jesus and His ways. He will be your strength.
