Promises to Stop Are Part of the Problem

Is lust a problem for you that you've been trying to overcome? If so, my guess is that at some point in your life, you've made promises to change. You've promised yourself you would change, you've promised God you would change, and you've promised others that you will change.

The problem with making promises to change is that making promises to change is actually a part of the problem. Say that five times fast. I want to explain in this podcast why that is and give you three reasons why making promises to change actually is a part of the problem.

And if you are ready, I want to offer you a better way forward.

Highlights:

Do you wrestle with lust? How does it feel?

Can you relate to this? Does it resonate with you?

When our children are born, everything changes.

The problem with pornography is not that it shows too much, but too little.

What does God do in response to our lusts?

Love incarnate vs. lust incarnate.

“If you wrestle with lust, you find your eyes, looking at people and using what you see, for selfish gratification are tempted to do so. Failing to see a whole human person, but instead of seeing body parts, objects, obstacles, then would you sit with me a while kneel with me a while at the manger."
