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.
