Like a giant multi-tentacled octopus, our society is full of influences attempting to lure us into lust and its attendant sins. How does the righteous saint live in society, but not succumb to all of the ungodly and ultimately damning sinful lustful temptations that assault a person everyday from every direction?
In this second video, we discuss how to use biblical strategies to successfully fight and overcome lust and all its attendant sins.
In our modern society, lustful and covetous temptations are bombarding us from many directions everyday in the things we see, hear and watch other people do. This includes lust for money, power, possessions, fame, good looks, knowledge, pleasure, etc., etc. But there is more to lust than meets the eyes.
Biblically, lust is much more than mental illicit sex. It has to do with strong and destructive passions that can lead to a host of other sins such as coveting, thefts, sinful imaginations, foul language, murder, mental and physical sexual sins, which all, in turn, lead to guilt and shame.
In the first video video, we identify the problem, which is half the battle to overcoming it and gaining the victory. In the second video, we discuss biblical strategies to resisting and overcoming lust.
