Lust



Lust can be defined as "desiring something that God forbids us to have."

Lust is a desire that focuses on satisfying self and no one else, not even God.

Sinful lust cannot be blamed on parents, environment, hormone imbalances, demons, or society.

James 1:14 clearly tells us where lust comes from: "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away from his own lust!"

Intense passion for the forbidden may give you what you want, but it will take away and destroy everything you already have.
