SUPERSIMBO

“Everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

In 2010 it seems that ‘looking’ with ‘lustful intent’ has become so ordinary and accepted that it really is no wonder we have such huge issues with pornography and every other kind of sexual sin imaginable within ‘the Church.’

Its hard to convince anyone that pornography is a dark destructive evil when God’s intention for men and women and for sex, has been trampled over and minimised.

Young Christians are sleeping around just as much as anyone else now because, they have listened to culture and followed their lustful desires instead of Jesus.

Married Christian men and women are addicted to pornography, visiting prostitutes, carrying on affairs and wrecking their marriages because they have listened to culture and followed their lustful desires instead of Jesus.

Not looking lustfully at a man or women is sadly not a priority issue for most Christians let alone “non-Christians.”

But, we all have lustful desires! Some more than others but, we all have them. I don’t say this to point a finger or judge anyone though. I do not know what temptations could arrive in front of me at any stage of life!

But, Jesus said “If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away.”

Would we get rid of the internet to avoid porn? Would we ditch the TV or at least keep it turned off late at night to avoid some of the stuff that tempts us? Would we even just stop buying those magazines that aren’t porn but they have “lads” articles and plenty of hot chick pictures? Would we?

Or do we not see this stuff as sin or as dangerous?

Is any of that worth losing your marriage over? Is it worth ruining relationships over? Is it worth losing your life over?

Culture tells us its ok to leer and perve at people! Culture tells us that porn is ok to look at. Culture tells us its ok to have sex outside of marriage and with loads of different people. Culture tells us its ok to leave your husband/wife and find a sexier version. It has always said this, its not a new thing for the 21st Century…….

Purity might get sneered at in 2010, it probably always did but, it is more important than culture.

It was Jesus who said it….

“Everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
