How do I deal with the temptation to watch pornography?

Last updated on October 24, 2020

Question:

I’m getting tempted to watch porn again. Each time, I reject those thoughts, they wouldn’t go away. It’ll come back with more ‘determination’ to make me sin. Please tell me what to do and how to stop. I’m really guilty when I give in to those temptations.

Answer:

Go do something that is the “opposite.” Make cookies and given them to a neighbor. Visit someone in a nursing home. Put some good in your life so there is no room for the sin.

Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts” (Romans 13:13-14).
