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: Your shortcomings will eventually trip
you up.
With pornography, you're
shackled 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.
