What is youthful lust ?

Once upon a time, there was a man called Mr Fear, he was living in a small village, he was not a godly man. One day he has a visitor from a far far country, Mr. Sanner, a pastor's son. During the visit, Mr Sanner could not sleep at night, he suggested to Mr Fear to go for drink and food. Poor_thing!. What a supprise to Mr Fear, a pastor son visiting night clubs, and sometime accompanied by preachers and pastors friends. Since Mr Fear is a family man, he refused to go with him.

Two years after that, Mr Fear went to further his study, and in that school, Mr Sanner, came, they met again. Mr Fear quite disturbed in the beginning, and so he kept away from Mr Sanner. Later they reunion and they went out to drink coffee and tea in the afternoon. And seeing Mr Fear was so poor, Mr Sanner gave him some money, Mr Fear was delighted by Mr Sanner kindness. Sometime in need, he asked money from Mr Sanner. Closer and closer they became. More and more time they spent together, Mr Fear find out Mr Sanner was querreling with the father,and Mr Sanner was trying to escape from his family matters, so they went out until late night and far from the school. They talked with fun and tried to forget their problems.

One day, Mr Sanner suggested to Mr Fear, to go to a red light district. Since Mr fear came from village, Mr Sanner wanted so much to bring him for some places like that for an eye opener, temptation was there luring men, Mr fear find out Mr Sanner was so excited, in inviting him to go that kind of places, this time, Mr Fear wanted to see what Mr Sanner was intended to do, they both went, and lo, the places are full of things which were worldly. Mr Fear was afraid that their visist will be explosed, so they went secretly, but Mr fear went with fear and trembling also with curiousity. So they went to many places like that, later Mr Fear, kept a distance from Mr Sanner. Thank God, not big sin was committed during those visits, but those visits were not helping Mr Sanner, and it was a stupid thing Mr Fear had done. Mr Sanner may had fallen into sins long time before.

Later Mr Sanner, went out alone with a young boy in the school at night and at other free times. Mr Fear was wondering what was going on between them, he joined them again to see what happened, this time 3 of them went further deep into the red light district, Mr Fear asked the boy to bring along the tape recorder and camera to get the proof, to be the witness in his wrong doing. The boy did what Mr Sanner asked. Things like this should not happened, but it was greed and lust, that they went to places like this, thank God 3 of them did not fall into any big sins like fornication and adultery. They went there for fun, but that is danger waiting them, Mr Fear, later kept away from Mr Sanner, and advice the young boy to be careful in his relationship with Mr Sanner. It is better to keep away from going out with Mr Sanner.

But the young boy continued to go out with Mr Sanner, after many advices from Mr Fear, the boy at one point stopped going out with Mr Sanner. Few months after that Mr Fear went home, 3 of them separated. Mr Fear hoped the boy will stop seeing Mr Sanner and pay more attention in his study. But even after few months later, after Mr fear departed from the school, he find out Mr Sanner and the young boy already became good friend, what happened to them, who know? Mr fear hoped that they will escaped the great and little sins, and also not to committing the unpardonable sin, that is to reject Christ.

The visits to those places have big impact to the live of them. And those places are like Sodom and Gomorah, these 2 places were burn with the fire from heaven. Lot and 3daugthers escaped narrowly. (Gen 19:23-29) And in New Testament, Paul advices Timothy, to "flee also youthful lust" (1 Tim 2:22), James said "the lust brings us war and fight among us" (James 4:1) In another place, Paul said, "cruxified the fresh and lust." (Gal 5:24) "Lust of the fresh, and lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world." John said all of them will be destroyed at the end of the world (1 John 2:16) To the church fo Corinthian, Paul says, "We should not lust after evil things." (1 Cor 10:6). May God help us, in keeping our body, the temple of God. (1 Cor 6:19)

Lust is putting on a war with the Holy Spirt. If you have committed great sins like King David, even you took 40 tablets of Paracetamol, or you killed your self, even that you also cannot solve your problems, you need Christ the Savior, and in Him there is salvation, in Him only there is forgiveness. Return to Him tonight, so that you will receive the atonement of your sins. There are many vans carrying this logo on the streets, the logo is "Jesus Saves !" It is true, that there is no rest until you find Jesus.
