GUEST: PASTOR JARED MOORE, author, 33 Days to Freedom from Lust

The world is energized by lust, which is sinful desire contrary to God’s will. The apostle John wrote:

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world” (1 John 2:16).

“All that is in the world” is pretty all-encompassing, and lust is the internal motivator to get what we want in opposition to what God wills. Lust is typically associated with the craving for sexual satisfaction outside marriage. Think about what drove the world’s elite to visit Jeffrey Epstein’s island with the lure of young girls. Lust. Think about the secular movie and music industries and what they are promoting. Lust. Think about the porn industry in the U.S. generating $13 billion annually and what they are stoking. Lust.

But lust can also apply to an unending list of other sinful desires such as power, status, success, money, material things, standard of living, personal network, and the list goes on.

The bottom line is the sinful human heart has a strong bent to please itself rather than please God. So is there any hope? The answer is a resounding YES!

Our guest this weekend, Pastor Jared Moore of Homesteads Baptist Church in Crossville, TN, has written an excellent and practical devotional book titled 33 Days to Freedom from Lust. He presents a different approach to overcoming lust than the more common advice to set up guard rails like device filters and accountability partners (both of which are good). Pastor Moore targets the root of lust—the sinful heart that needs to repent and to know and love God more deeply so that the lusts of the flesh pale in comparison.

If you struggle with wandering eyes for others who aren’t your spouse, if you are enslaved to pornography or sinful sexual thoughts, or if there is something non-sexual in this life you lust for, we hope you will listen to the wise, biblical counsel of Pastor Moore on the program today and perhaps order his book.

For a limited time, you can order 33 Days to Freedom from Lust by Pastor Jared Moore for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview. Each day follows a simple format starting with prayer, Scripture, Reflection, and Application, followed by a poem and hymn to shape your affections, and then concludes with prayer.

The whole point is to lock your gaze on the nature and character of the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, so that your heart desires to worship Him above pleasing yourself.
