Passage: Romans 12:9-10* 9. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Questions 1. Are you honest with yourself about whether viewing pornography is right or wrong?   2. Could an honest "rethink" help you stand strong?   Practical help I don't know about you, but when I haven't made a pointed decision to classify something it can lead me straight into the ominous Gray Area. Later, when that something calls for a net benefit evaluation, it becomes hard to render one. Are you struggling because you've relegated pornography to the gray area? If you're reading eXXit studies you're probably ready to take a more sincere look at what pornography is doing to you. You may be confused about how you got into it, and even more confused about how to get out of it. One way to take a step in a good direction is to listen to what the Apostle Paul tells you in verse 9 above: You should classify everything in light of love, and that love must be sincere. Be honest with yourself. Take things out of the gray area and move them to where they belong. You may be surprised at how helpful it will be simply to acknowledge in your own heart that pornography is evil. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2000 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
