You can look into today's world and see it all over. Men drawn away from happy marriages, for lust of some woman. Tiger Woods, John Edwards, Jesse James. These are just to name a few of the most popular ones in our headlines. Men lusting after women is not a modern day thing. In fact we find this kind of behavior all over the Old Testament of the Bible. To name a few were, Samson who lusted after a gentile woman, not just once but twice. His second wife, Delila, played him for a fool. Which ended with his capture by the Philistines and soon after, his death.
King David also was overtaken with lust as he watched Uriah's wife, Bath-Sheba as she bathed. As a result, He got Bath-Sheba pregnant. The end result was that he had Uriah murdered. So King David's lust also resulted in cold blooded murder.
And let's not forget David's son Solomon his lust for women was so overwhelming, that he ended up with seven hundred wives and three hundred mistresses.
Now mind you I really don't mean this as a joke. But I think if Solomon had been alive today, they could surely say he had a sex addiction.
So as you can see, this is not a new thing of today.
The professionals call it a sex addiction. I call it, lack of self control. I call it, temptations from the devil that are not fought hard enough against. And I call it sin. Not an illness, but just plain sin.
Until next time, God bless and remember the devil is at every turn. We must put on the whole armor of God to be able to stand against him.
