Welcome to eXXit, the web
site designed to help you stand strong in the
face of sexual temptation.
Passage: Proverbs
13: 18*
He who ignores
discipline comes to poverty and shame, but
whoever heeds correction is honored.
Questions
1. Does it require
discipline on your part to say no to web porn?
2. Is viewing web porn
an action that you need to correct?
3. The writer says that
poverty and shame await the person who does not
pay attention to discipline. Can you see how this
might apply to someone who is viewing web porn?
Practical
help
The writer of this
passage does not present a picture of one person,
alone, trying to live a Godly life. The concept
of discipline and correction indicate that there
are other people, who do care, that are involved
in the development of each person. It may be that
you would like to break the habit of viewing web
porn, but do not feel as though you have the
strength to do soon your own. Find those people
who care for you and allow them to help you with
discipline and correction. What may seem
frightening at first, will become the basis for a
deeper and more rewarding relationship. There is
another thing that can happen when you allow
someone to help, and you follow their correction;
honor.
