Pastor Daniel Goulding · Jun 3, 2024
In Matthew 5:27–29, Jesus pushes past the seventh commandment's prohibition on adultery to expose the deeper root: lust in the heart. Pastor Daniel argues that our porn-saturated culture has not ushered in freedom but bondage, because God designed us for genuine intimacy — not objectification. The solution is not willpower alone but a four-part response: admitting brokenness, fleeing sexual immorality, fighting for healthy intimacy, and waging war against the flesh by the Spirit. Ultimately, lasting change comes not from striving harder but from falling so deeply in love with God that the lesser gods lose their grip.
