Key Bible Verse: Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace (2 Timothy 2:22a).
Bonus Reading:1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
Late hours are common in the fast-paced life of a single man. College men study into the night to get good grades. Young men in the workforce sometimes work into the evening as they move up the corporate ladder. Finally, you're done for the day, but you want to do a little surfing before you go to bed.
You log onto the Net, run some searches, and come across links marked XXX, Girls, Erotic, 18 and over. Out of curiosity you click on a few, exposing you to the fringes of pornography. You experience moments of lust at your discovery. Then you log off. The next time you log on, you return to these sites, going further and further into the depths of Web porn. Before you know it, you're a long way from home, wondering how you got there and how you can get out.
For me and many men the toughest fight of our lives is the temptation of pornography. It crosses social lines and destroys individuals, marriages and families. We don't have to give in to lust. But we must be willing to fight.
—Henry J. Rogers in Triumph Over Temptation
God, I am lost without You to save me. Please unentangle my feet, so I may run Your race with swiftness, and make me clean.
