Escaping the Porn Trap

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be temped beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13

“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman.”

“Doesn’t [God] see everything I do and every step I take?”
Job 31:4 NLT

“For lust is a shameful sin, a crime that should be punished. It is a fire that burns all the way to hell. It would wipe out everything I own.”
Job 31:11-12 NLT
