strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Matthew 18:7*
"Woe to the world because
of the things that cause people to sin! Such things
must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!"
Jesus Christ
Questions
1. What does this verse
say about temptations to sin?
2. Do any of your friends or
associates think it's OK to surf porn sites because
you do?
Practical
help
Maybe you're at a place
with your porn habit that instead of dealing with its
destructive effects you're rationalizing it as an
acceptable activity? Maybe you're doing this by
encouraging others to try it? After all, the more
people you know who think it's OK, the more OK it
seems to be.
If this is where you're at, then
let this verse be a wake-up call. Temptations to sin
are always going to lay before you, and you're not
always going to resist them. The warning here is that
sin will always be sin no matter how you package
it.
If you find you're easing the
guilt by starting an "Acceptability Club," then you'd
best put the brakes on that direction and say
whoa, or the next step may lead to
woe!
