In chapter 7, Solomon tells a story about him standing at the window in his house and watching a young man in the streets being seduced by a woman. She’s dressed with intent and with sweet words, leads him into her house. Solomon warns the young men listening to the stories to not let their hearts be turned towards these women or stray into her paths. The paths she leads men down lead to death.
It may seem obvious that it’s wise to not commit adultery with a prostitute but I can’t help but believe that these verses are applicable to men and Internet pornography. I know some try to argue that since nothing physical is taking place, it’s not cheating. But Jesus has a different opinion. In Matthew 5:28 he says anyone that looks lustfully has already committed adultery in his heart. Also? Ask a spouse of someone addicted. You better believe she feels betrayed.
Well, it opens the topic. Is your spouse cheating with you? I know that sucks and that must be confirmed if that’s true or just gossips. Hiring people at discreetinvestigations.ca will be your best decision.
So that means men, listen up, the wisdom you need to take away is to “not stray into her paths” (v25). You know what that means?
Don’t even type in the URL.
Don’t glance at the pictures.
Don’t Google those search words.
Don’t even go near a magazine.
And women, listen, let’s not pretend that we don’t fall prey to Internet porn. We must be wise as well about what we allow our eyes to see.
If you want to protect yourself, it’d be very wise to install some accountability software on your computer like Covenant Eyes and if you’re already entrenched and need out, I highly recommend XXXchurch.com or for females specifically, Dirty Girls Ministries.
This is so interesting. I came upon your blog because the lock button on my iPhone broke and after perusing for a short while I came upon your 31 Days of Wisdom. I clicked “avoid pornography” because it is destroying my marriage and I found this extremely helpful link. Thank you so much. God bless you.
