Passage: 1 John 1:5-7* 5. And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7. but if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. Questions 1. In these verses, the apostle John (the author) draws a distinction between "light" and "darkness." "Light" and "darkness" are very common images for "good" and "evil." What characteristics of each come to your mind when thinking of them in those terms? Light:   Darkness:   2. What is John emphasizing when he tells us that there is no darkness in God?   3. Do you see elements of "darkness" in the pornography industry? If so, can you state what some of the darknesses of pornography might be?   Practical Help Perhaps you have visited the eXXit web site because you want to break the stranglehold of Internet porn. Maybe you have admitted to yourself that viewing pornography (on the Internet or elsewhere) is "darkness." If so, you are walking toward the light and allowing God's light to shine on your life. The fullness of fellowship with God is experienced when we not only walk toward the light, but also walk in the light and do away with the darkness. Away with Internet porn! It compromises the rich fellowship you could be enjoying with the God of light! eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 1998 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
