Passage: 1 Peter 1:13-14* 13. Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. Questions 1. Whose children are we, and to whom should we be obedient?   2. Do you consider pornography to be an evil desire?   3. Make a list of the evil desires you face, and determine how you will not conform to them.   Practical Help We are children of God, and our obedience to God comes from the realization (the opposite of ignorance) of his grace through Jesus Christ. We still face temptation (evil desires) but we do not have to conform to them. One of those temptations is web porn. Many people have been tempted, and many have not conformed. By focusing on God's grace, and with the help of good friends, they have said no to the enticement of web porn.
