![]() ![]() The Bible shows us that men can have perfectly platonic relationships with women Lust, then, is not a special category of sin that men won’t be able to win victory over. The Bible does put sexual sins in a category of their own, but not because they’re more common or more sinful simply because they affect us more. And the sin that is listed as the root of all other sins is not lust but pride. Over and over again in the Old Testament God tells the Israelites that they are being punished because of the way they treated the poor. In fact, the sin most commonly mentioned in Scripture is not lust at all but greed. What does Scripture say about “Every Man’s Battle”? The Bible does not talk about lust as if it’s any more common than any other sin. Yesterday we saw how psychological studies do not actually say that lust is “every man’s battle”. This post is more of a rant against how we’ve talked about lust in churches, not a condemnation of the many men who are currently fighting the fight. I want you to know that this series is not meant to shame you–if anything, I hope this encouragesyou to know that your battle is one that can be won! ![]() I know a lot of men who read this blog struggle with lust. That does so much damage to women’s self-esteem, and to men’s ability to withstand lust. This week we’re dismantling the argument that “ men are visually stimulated” necessarily means that “all men will lust” and that this is “every man’s battle”. It is perfectly reasonable, and utterly biblical, to expect that your husband will not lust after other women–or at least will actively fight a battle with this temptation so that he will eventually win over it. Women, you are not living in a dream world if you want to be married to a guy who doesn’t lust.
