[Write out your answers to the questions in the blog.]
Now that you know how to face temptation, let’s take up one that you probably have struggled with from time to time—sexual temptation. I don’t need to describe what it is; you know already. In addition to the matters you have already covered in the process sketched out above which, presumably, you have been following, apply the same procedures to this temptation as well.
a. Talk to God about the problem and repent of it.
b. Find a verse that opposes the problem.
c. Memorize the verse
d. Use the verse to oppose temptation.
Now, ask yourself :
1. How is the temptation of my heart the prelude to the temptation to follow through physically? Look at the Sermon on the Mount for Jesus’ comments about adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:27-30).
2. Am I avoiding all unnecessary situations, contacts, etc., in which I will be tempted to sexual sin, including pornography either in print or online? Be honest!
