Bible passage, then answer the short questions. Consider
the practical suggestions at the end of the
study. Passage:
Proverbs
1:10-16* 11. If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in
wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless
soul; 12. let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and
whole, like those who go down to the pit; 13. we will get all sorts of valuable things and
fill our houses with plunder; 14. throw in your lot with us, and we will share a
common purse" — 15. my son, do not go along with them, do not set
foot on their paths; 16. for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to
shed blood. Questions 2. What will the victimizers get from this
action? 3. If the son (verse 10) joins the plot, what will
he have to do in order to get something? 4. What is the victimizers' attitude toward
death? Practical
help 2. Whether the robbery could result in someone's
death (physical or spiritual). 3. What robbery you'll have to commit in order
to get something from web porn. You can resist web porn's enticements by
considering what happens to its participants,
especially you. Realize that, even as a passive
viewer, you're helping rob someone's virtue. Then: 2. Ask God to help you stand strong. 3. Ask a friend to stand with you. With God's help, many people have resisted the
enticement to be a victimizer through web porn.
They're cheering you on to do likewise. You can do
it!

10. My son, if sinners entice you, do not
give in to them.
1. What is meant by "swallow them alive, like
the grave" (verse 12)?
Web porn is careless with the lives of its
participants. It's concerned only with robbing what
belongs to them. If you're enticed to view web porn,
consider:
1. Who — and what — is being
robbed (e.g., someone's morality, self-esteem).
1. Ask God to help you see web porn for
what it is — robbery.
