Passage: Proverbs 11:1* The LORD hates cheating, but he delights in honesty. Question If you had to pick, would you associate Web porn with cheating or dishonesty?   Practical help Either answer to the above question could lead to victory over smut. How? If you associate porn with cheating, then you know a truth about your viewing habits: They're cheating you — or loved ones — of the affection only godly relationships can deliver. If you connect porn with dishonesty, then you realize another truth about your viewing habits: They (and you?) lack openness and integrity. Coming to grips with either truth brings you closer to kicking the smut habit. Namely, as Jesus himself stated: You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (John 8:32). At the very least, embracing these truths means you're becoming more honest and that you're cheating yourself — and others — less. It's a good start toward a porn-free life. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2000 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible, New Living Translation, © copyright 1996 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.
