Journal: Lust
-------------------------------------------Mood: Thinking...
I was reading up on the Seven Deadly Sins and this section about Lust really really captured my attention. So I had to post it. In fact I'm going to post another Sin next Friday, I think it's going to be Pride or it might be Envy, hmm suggestions are welcome if anyone wants info on a certain one.
"Lust blinds us. In dating, lust causes us to miss the warning signs in the relationship. We gloss over major obstacles to a good marriage because our physical desires are driving us. Lust is enslavement to the senses, to the animal part of man. Lust deadens our spiritual senses so we cannot hear God calling. If you are professing to be a Christian and yet are fornicating or committing adultery (these mean sexual contact or pleasure, not just intercourse, outside of marriage), you are fooling yourself. Unrepented lust is a solid barrier to growth in faith, but it does not prevent growth in Pride. Think about it."
