The Cost of Sexual Lust We live in a fallen world. Everything is so messed up. We wake up every day to shocking news of all kinds & that shows our desperate need of a Savior!  It gets more heated when it comes to sexual lust in this age. We are living in a time where it is 'abnormal' to wait till marriage to indulge in any intimacy! The media portrays this easy life, where  marriage is not important so long as two 'consensual adults' prefer to live together & indulge in any immorality of all kinds! Friends are not helping as they keep asking you when you'll 'actually have fun'. It'a a sick world, right? God has indeed given us our free will but we are not exempted from its consequences. Whatever choice we make has results & thus, He wants us to make the best choice in all we do. In giving us this choice, He has given us a code of conduct- His eternal Word!
