“Sexual purity isn’t a destination you hope to reach tomorrow—it’s a walk you take with the Lord today.”

“Pornography isn’t something you quit as much as something you avoid. You “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts” (Romans 13:14). You pluck out and throw away the eye that causes you to sin sexually (Matthew 5:28-29). You make a covenant with your eyes to not lust after women (Job 31:1). Porn isn’t something you conquer as much as something you stay away from.”

“One vital truth to understand about sexual temptation is that you don’t resist. You flee. Temptation isn’t something you fight. It’s something you escape. This is what Paul commands you to do when he tells you to “flee sexual immorality,” and to “flee youthful lusts. Not, “stand and fight.” Not, “pray about it.” Not, “wrestle with the temptation.” What, then? Run away. As soon as you see a pornographic image, flee. When you feel lust building up inside, escape. When you hear a solicitation to sin sexually, run for your life. Don’t stay where you are. Don’t remain in the same spot, hoping to put up an adequate defense. Don’t stay and pray. Run. You quit porn by managing temptation. And you manage temptation by running away.”
