How much does the culture influence our thoughts, desires, and intents? In the name of “Adult Entertainment” we allow pornography. In the name of Adult Decision we allow lawful human trafficking in some states and strip clubs in most others. We allow and frequent restaurant bars that exploit young woman. What is the purpose of these establishments – it certainly is not for creating a pure heart but rather lust. Scripture tells us exactly what God thinks of this.
Matthew 5:27
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery. ’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart
Job 31:1
“I have made a covenant with my eyes;
how then could I gaze at a virgin?
What would be my portion from God above
and my heritage from the Almighty on high
Proverbs 6:25
Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes
