Diary of an Addict

For thousands of years God’s men have been asking the same question, “How can a young man keep his way pure?” (Psalm 119:9a). The answer the Bible gives is a searching one: “By guarding it according to Your word” (v.9b). When the pattern of our thoughts, motives, actions, and words conform to a path marked out for us by divine revelation, then we will walk the path of purity.

But how does this really happen in the day-to-day? How do we overcome unholy lusts? When our bodies and habits of thinking seem to pull away from God’s will every moment, how do we fight such urges?

The Bible’s answer: Fight Lust with Lust.

Luke Gilkerson has an excellent article today on the positive use of spiritual lust to combat the fleshly lust in our hearts. Read the rest of his article at the Breaking Free Blog.
