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

Today's Bible passage highlights our need to acknowledge a sure source of help.

Passage: Psalm 94:17-18 (New International Version*)

17. Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

18. When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O LORD, supported me.

Questions

1. How do you react when you catch yourself slipping back to a porn site?

 

2. What dies in "the silence of death" (conscience, integrity, self-respect...)?

 

3. If it seems you're fighting a losing battle, what step could begin turning things around?

 

Practical help

You're moving along pretty well and pleased with your progress and then, BANG! You slip back to a site you managed to stay away from for a good while. Now what? Well, you can acknowledge your weakness at this point. In our weakness, we can fall and stay down, or we can look up to our only source of strength. God is there, reaching out His hand of love to hold you up. Take hold, and hold on.
