strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Proverbs 29:6*
An evil man is snared by his own
sin, but a righteous one can sing and be glad
Question
1. What is the principle
underlying this proverb?
2. How can we apply the
principle to pornography?
Practical
help
With pornography out of the
"First Amendment" sex shops and into the Internet and
network TV, it's easy to start accepting it. We may
think -- with amazingly teenage thought patterns --
"Porn is okay because everyone is watching it."
Then, like a lighting bolt out of the ancient world,
Proverbs 29:6 strikes. For believers, it speaks of a
worldview we supposedly share: that God's ways are
really the best, that we "can sing and be glad." For
nonbelievers, it states a fact of life: that your
shortcomings will eventually trip you up.
With pornography, you're damned if you do and free if
you don't. The proverbial message may seem hard to
accept, but ignoring reality will only make matters
worse.
