lights" affect your urge to view pornographic images
better suited for a dark place? 4. How would remembering that God is constant and

Title: The Giver of All Good Gifts
-------------
Date: 09/05/1998
Every good thing bestowed and every perfect
gift is from above, coming down from the Father of
lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting
shadow.
1. What comments about God do you find in
verse 17 that you would want to remember when you are
tempted to view a pornographic web site?
The Bible really is a tremendous resource in
our struggle with temptation. Perhaps most
importantly, the Bible tells us how we should think
about God. Our concept of God is the most important
thing about us. Remember that God is the Giver
of all good gifts, the Father of lights and the
constant One when you are tempted to view Internet
porn.
