Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Wir leben in einer sexualisierten Welt und werden mit der Verbreitung von Pornographie im Internet und in den Medien stetig konfrontiert. Wie geht’s du mit dieser Sache um?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Living in a sexually supercharged world and facing the prevalence of pornography on the Internet and in today's media, how are you doing with this issue? Jesus challenges us to recognize that sin starts in our hearts and begins when we longingly seek what is not ours to have. While the world may think such rigorous guarding of our hearts as impossible or ridiculous, Jesus wants us to know he takes sexual sin — and the place it begins, the lust of our hearts — seriously.
Mein Gebet
Liebender Vater, schenk mir die Kraft, sexuellen Versuchungen zu widerstehen. Verleih mir Weisheit, sie zu vermeiden und den Charakter, über sie zu siegen. In dem mächtigen Namen Jesu, bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Loving Father, give me the strength to resist sexual temptation, the wisdom to stay away from it, and the character to triumph over it. Purify my heart, O God, and make it yearn for what is holy and life-giving. In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
