23. snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear — hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

Questions

Practical help

In "How Now Shall We Live?" author Charles Colson breaks the Christian worldview into three parts: creation, fall and redemption. His handy framework even manages to wring some good out of our battles with pornography.

God created sex as good. Yet the fall corrupted our desires, leading to deviant permutations of the good, including pornography. Fine so far. But this is as far as many Christians go. They see is as a battle of good versus evil instead of moving on to the final stage of redemption.

How? Use your struggles with porn to help someone else. Given how many people deal with the issue, it shouldn't be too hard to find someone who needs your support. Snatch them "from the fire." Become a porn minister of grace. The church needs you.
