How much does the culture influence our thoughts, desires, and intents? \u00a0In the name of “Adult Entertainment” we allow pornography. \u00a0In the name of Adult Decision we allow lawful human trafficking in some states and strip clubs in most others. \u00a0We allow and frequent restaurant bars that exploit young woman. \u00a0What is the purpose of these establishments – it certainly is not for creating a pure heart but rather lust. \u00a0Scripture tells us exactly what God thinks of this.<\/p>\n
Matthew 5:27
\n\u201cYou have heard that it was said, \u2018You shall not commit adultery. \u2019 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart<\/p>\n
Job 31:1
\n\u201cI have made a covenant with my eyes;
\nhow then could I gaze at a virgin?
\nWhat would be my portion from God above
\nand my heritage from the Almighty on high<\/p>\n
Proverbs 6:25
\nDo not desire her beauty in your heart,
\nand do not let her capture you with her eyelashes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
