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

Today's passage shows us how we can confidently resist web porn.

Passage: Mark 11:23-24 (New International Version*)

23. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

24. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Questions

1. Does a recurring problem with Internet pornography seem so immense that you just can't do anything about it?

 

2. Why does trusting in yourself to overcome a big problem almost always fail?

 

3. Jesus beckons us to ask Him for help. What help can you ask Him for right now?

 

Practical help

Viewing Internet porn is one of those problems which starts out small but quickly gets out of hand. When facing a mountainous problem, it's human nature to feel you can't conquer it. In this passage Jesus is telling you the truth — believe in Him, and He promises that when you ask Him for help, you'll get it. Now that's something you can count on!
