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

Passage: Psalm 103:5*

[Praise the LORD] who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Questions

1. I. According to this passage, what kind of quality of life should you expect by trusting God?

 

2. How might ingesting pornography affect your answer -- and your life?

 

Practical help

We've all seen the commercials: famous athletes dripping rivers of sweat guzzling Gatorade like SUVs at gas pumps. The logical message: If you drink this beverage, then you will perform like the pros.

Pornography offers a similarly tempting lie: If you look at this, you will feel sexually satisfied. Like the weekend warriors toting 20-ounce bottles of neon liquid, we often fall for the ad campaign. We know porn offers nothing we want. But we continue to drink. Score one for porn marketeers.

Don't buy the lie. The truth — that God will satisfy all of your deepest desires — is not only true, you also already know it. Don't you?
