The Final Temptation Every Man Must Defeat Is Lust
“Lust, fueled by Opportunity, is the biggest temptation. Not anger, not pride, not greed. Lust given free rein.

King David, the giant slayer and the man after God’s heart, used his royal power to take Bathsheba when his lust was aroused. Samson, blessed with supernatural strength, lost everything because his uncontrolled lust for Delilah made him vulnerable to manipulation. His head was shaved, his eyes gouged, his body chained like an animal. That’s what lust, acted upon, does. These weren’t weak men by any means. They conquered armies, built kingdoms, moved mountains.
Lust promises pleasure, but when it is not governed by principle, it weakens you, binds you, and chains you. Every man should beware of letting lust dictate their actions.”
