Lust: Don’t Fight, Run!
- 2 Samuel 2:13-14
- Josh Akin
1 Peter 2:11
Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
Think about the difference between war and a fight. A fight leaves two people bloodied, but war touches all; soldiers of course, but also the people who have sent them, the economy shutters, schools stop, children starve.
Lust is like that. It’s not just between and what you want. If fulfilled, lust destroys all around you. Today we will look at lust and its effect, but also it’s cure.
