Summary
Sexual sin has been destroying marriages, families, careers, and churches for centuries. The Jews of Jesus’ day wrongly believe they are righteous because they have not broken the letter of the law with their bodies. Jesus tells them that they have broken it with their minds. Jesus knew that men would try and play games with “the rules” AND, being our Creator, He knew that the most powerful sex organ in the body was a person’s mind. Today, our culture has taken what is an amazing gift intended to bless and making into an awful god that controls. Professor Peter Kreeft has said, “Sex is the effective religion of our culture.” Modern technology has birthed a culture more besieged with sexual perversion than ever. Unrestrained lust that leads to sexual misconduct is literally a button click away. IPhones and laptops are the new pimps and a “virtual prostitute” is only a Google search away. The need for radical warfare against the temptation to lust, through the bombardment of sexual imagery, is urgent.
