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 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 surprise to Mr. Fear, a pastor son visiting nightclubs, and sometimes 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. Sometimes 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 quarreling 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 the 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 to 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 visit will be exposed, so they went secretly, but Mr fear went with fear and trembling also with curiosity. 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 have 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 wrongdoing. The boy did what Mr. Sanner asked. Things like this should not happen, 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 for 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 advice 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 a few months later, after Mr fear departed from the school, he found out Mr. Sanner and the young boy already became a good friend, what happened to them, who knows? Mr fear hoped that they will escape the great and little sins, and also not to committing the unpardonable sin, that is to reject Christ.

The visits to those places have a big impact on their life. And those places are like Sodom and Gomorrah, these 2 places were burned with the fire from heaven. Lot and 3 daughters escaped narrowly. (Gen 19:23-29) And in New Testament, Paul advice Timothy, to "flee also youthful lust" (1 Tim 2:22), James said "the  lust brings us to war and fights among us" (James 4:1) In another place, Paul said, "crucified the flesh and lust." (Gal 5:24) "Lust of the flesh, 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 Spirit. 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.
