Understanding Lust & the Path of Deliverance (Teaching Outline)
Lust is not pent up energy that must be released; instead, lust is like a beast that must be starved to death. As the starvation grows acute, the beast will look desperate, but after the final drought of hunger unsatisfied, the beast will be dead -- it may be revived, nevertheless, at the smell of fresh water....Characteristics of LustVarious (2 Tim.3:6)Harmful (1 Tim. 6:9)Foolish (1 Tim.6:9)Deceitful (Eph.4:22)Fleshly (1Pet.2:11)Worldly (Tit.2:12)Ungodly (Jude 1:18)Thrust of LustLusts of Flesh (Eph.2:3)Lust of Heart (Rom.1:24)Lust of Eyes (1John...
