The Three Rs Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: The Three Rs ------------------- Date: 12/11/2001 Keywords: "admonishing" "teaching" "wisdom" "word of Christ" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: Colossians 3:16a* Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another.... Questions 1. When it comes to tackling tough problems, would you consider yourself a ready, willing and able student?   2. Do you feel ill-equipped to fight the temptations of porn?   Practical help The old school quip of "needin" to learn the three Rs — "readin, ritin and rithmatic" brings a chuckle but can also cut like a knife made of satirical truth when you're on the "needin" end of the spectrum. When it comes to passing "Sexual Problems 102B: Avoiding Pornography Addiction" are you always failing the course? Take heart! There's another set of Rs offered to the porn struggler — reconciliation, resourcefulness and restraint. The class is free and offered 24 hours a day. Where's it offered? In God's Word. As today's verse indicates, a rich supply of the word of Christ provides wise teaching and wise correction for the course of life. The syllabus is simple: • Reconciliation — becoming aware of your need for God's forgiveness and accepting it. • Resourcefulness — learning from what He teaches you in His word. • Restraint — applying what you learn in the moment of temptation. If you struggle with porn, the root cause could be any number of things, but don't let ignorance be one of them. Go back to school and learn your three Rs. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
