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

Passage: Genesis 50:20*

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

Questions

How can we apply this verse to our struggles with pornography?

 

Practical help

In this passage, Joseph tells his two-faced, slave-trading brothers why they shouldn't fear him — the second-in-command to the most powerful man on Earth. He has reason to destroy them yet holds back. The reason: God has made good out of his suffering.

Pornography addicts can follow Joseph's example. First, our victories — admittedly, sometimes short-lived — rank as some of the most powerful works God has ever performed in our lives. Second, we now have a platform to reach out to others struggling with the same problems.

What is the redemptive value of pornography? God's power. And our platform.
