Top Highlights
“In answer to my young counselee’s question, it is possible to appreciate beauty and the attractiveness of a woman without entering into sin. But as we shall see later, it is a very dangerous line that a person susceptible to sexual sin needs to stay away from as far as possible. He can appreciate beauty in other things, but not in the opposite sex because the danger of unholy lust is too great.” (Page 11)
“‘If the tenth commandment (Exod. 20:17) forbids such desire, it is because God desires from men not merely obedience in acts, but also in their words, thoughts, looks, efforts and wishes.” (Page 12)
“‘When do thoughts of sex become sinful?’ In short, they become sinful when they come from a demanding heart of covetousness.” (Page 10)
“This is active desire that strains for sexual satisfaction and not a detached appreciation of beauty.” (Page 12)
“like the person hooked on drugs, it expends many waking hours planning and seeking another fix.” (Page 24)
