Passage: Ecclesiastes 2:10-11* 10. I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for my labor. 11. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. Questions Solomon, the writer, uses the book of Ecclesiastes to chronicle his search for meaning in his life. In this part of the text, he discussed his chasing after pleasure. 1. What do your eyes desire?   2. What do you consider to be pleasure?   3. Can you relate these ideas to viewing web porn?   Practical Help The history of man centers around his search for meaning and pleasure in life. Solomon came to the conclusion that his chasing after pleasure was meaningless. Web porn is seemingly inviting and pleasurable, but the result of viewing it is meaningless. It does not add value or meaning to your life. Others have faced this temptation and overcome it with God's help. Pray for God's help that you may do the same. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 1998 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
