LUST

God sees everything, and He watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. You can’t hid your sin from the God. God sees all. The proverb finally says, “They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control.” They made dumb choices, they didn’t listen to wisdom, but most importantly, the key to their deaths was the lack of self-control.

Lust weakens the ability to control one’s self. It clouds the judgment and makes us do the things we shouldn’t. It makes us foolish. To avoid fornication and adultery, we must tackle lust. Lust is part of the problem. I say that lust is part of the problem because there are often other issues like loneliness, discontentment, generational curses, depression, emptiness, no purpose, no identity and abuse that lead men to use sex, porn or masturbation as a way of dealing with their deeper issues.

Contrary to what some believe, selfishness is actually the opposite of love, not hate. Selfishness is the reason for the world’s condition today. Selfishness leads to destruction and so does lust.
