I told him that I would like to help him. How would you help him?
Point this out to him for starters:
Your walk of faith can be strengthened by daily Scripture study, prayer, fellowship with believers, and regular assembly with others to worship God. Develop this spiritual discipline and it will enable you to resist temptations that may lead you to sinful acts. Whatever God tells you to do, He will equip you to do. When God admonishes you to avoid sexual immorality, He enables you to do it.
