Worldliness Fuels Lust

Patrick Hudson
Director of Ministry Outreach

Pure Life Ministries has been a pioneer in dealing with sexual addiction and its consequences for over 35 years. During that span of time thousands of people have found freedom through our counseling programs and teaching materials.

Many people want help getting free from lust and sexual sin. However, not many people want freedom over a love of the world. The problem is, if our lives are full of worldliness, we are fueling the very desires that feed lust. That means freedom will be very difficult, if not impossible. The Bible repeatedly gives evidence of this. Look at Lot, Samson, King Solomon, the entire nation Israel…

But there is a way to come out of it and into a life of victory, and that’s what Director of Ministry Outreach, Patrick Hudson, shares about in today’s sermon from Psalm 73.
