The Key to Killing Lust // Ask Pastor John
A video published by Desiring God on May 19th, 2021
Strategies are important in our battle against lust. But nothing arrests our souls with the urgency of purity like the supremacy of Jesus Christ.
I have a few favorite sermon clips from the sermons of John Piper. Today’s clip is one of the very best. I have listened to it a dozen times, at least. It happens to also be the favorite sermon clip of a longtime podcast listener named Greg, who lives in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s from a 2004 conference message in which Pastor John is explaining how we order our sexual lives.
Now, you don’t have to be a Christian to see the destructive power of pornography on the human brain. You don’t have to be a Christian to discern the difference between love and lust. And you certainly don’t have to be a Christian to know that adultery destroys marriages. But you must be a Christian to see the battle for sexual purity within its fullest reality. So, how do we battle lust like Christians? And how does sexuality find its ultimate purpose and right place in our lives? It is no overstatement that the following clip explains the key to it all. Here’s Pastor John.
