EPISODE 150: Seven Deadly Sins Series: Lust - Staying Pure in Heart and Mind in a Hyper-Sexualized World

In this episode of "Bible Reading and Coffee Drinking," we tackle the sin of lust, exploring how unchecked desire can distort relationships, disrupt our connection with God, and lead to harmful behaviors. We’ll break down the biblical definition of lust, how it goes beyond natural attraction, and why it becomes dangerous when it shifts into selfish cravings for personal pleasure.

​We’ll also dive into the modern challenges of a hyper-sexualized culture, where lust is amplified through media and technology, making it a constant temptation. Most importantly, we’ll discuss how to combat lust with God’s help, striving for purity and holiness in both thought and action, and learning how to align our desires with God’s plan for love and intimacy.

Grab your Bible and coffee, and join me as we explore how to break free from the destructive grip of lust and pursue a life of purity and spiritual connection.
