THE STRUGGLE
Lust is an attitude of the (heart)
that says ‘I’m no longer satisfied’
“For everything in the world
– the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he
has and does – comes not from the Father but from the
world.”
I John 2:16
THE STRATEGY
Don’t be (foolish)
r
Guard your (eyes) . . .
they
lead to your heart
The fool says – ‘I’m just (looking)’
“The eye is the lamp of the
body. If your eyes are good, your whole
body will be full of light. But if your
eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how
great is that darkness!”
Matthew 6:22-23
“You have heard that it was
said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I
tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed
adultery with her in his heart. If your
right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your
body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.”
Matthew 5:27-29
r
Don’t be (naïve) . . .
stay alert
The fool says – ‘It won’t happen to (me)’
“Be self-controlled and
alert. Your enemy the devil prowls
around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
I Peter 5:8
“He who trusts in himself is
a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.”
Proverbs 28:26
r
Live (wisely) and . . .
stay out of dumb
situations
The fool says – ‘It’s not a (big
deal)’
“Flee from sexual
immorality. All other sins a man commits
are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.”
I Corinthians 6:18
