The Sex Is Always Greener Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: The Sex Is Always Greener------------------------- Date: 12/23/2002 Keywords: "enjoy" "home" "proverb" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: Proverbs 27:8* Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home. Questions 1. What does this verse mean?   2. How can it help you resist pornography?   Practical help One good proverb deserves another. Pair Proverbs 27:8 with its newer equivalent: "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Both adages assume we know better. Pornography, of course, hopes we don't. It urges us to fixate on and drool over the lawn next door — or the best looking, most well-tended lawns in all of creation. Surely, our meager yards lack the excitement of those golf-course vistas. Well, no. Both Proverbs and its newer incarnation imply different advice: Don't waste your time pining after "the other side of the fence" instead of enjoying what God has given you. Or, as a horticultural sage might put it, bloom where you're planted. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2002 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
