Purity - Lust Is The Problem Not Sex

LUST - I found these four definitions for it.

1. intense sexual desire or appetite.

2. uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness.

3. a passionate or overmastering desire or craving (usually followed by for ): a lust for power.

4. ardent enthusiasm; zest; relish: an enviable lust for life.

 

James 1:15
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. KJV

 

My key thought here is that our mind is our most powerful sex organ in our body. Combine that with the fact that we live our lives based on what we think. What we think is produced by those things that are inside us (Matt 12:35; 15:18,19). Which makes me know that the problem for us is what we are feeding on or put another way. What are we thinking? Thus my whole thought: SEX IS NOT THE PROBLEM . . . LUST IS!!

 

We can change the way we live if we will change the way we think. 

 

Rom 12:2
2 Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. NLT
