Men, struggling with lust?

“Men, struggling with lust? Well, according to Jesus, the woman doesn’t have to change her clothes…you have to pluck your eye out. Go struggle with that.” @carloshappynpo

This is a little more “in your face” than what I usually post here but Pastor Carlos sums up this issue so succinctly so here we go!

Let’s stop teaching that men are mindless automatons that are not responsible for their own feelings and desires. In many areas, men are celebrated when they display grit and discipline; those are still admirable traits even when we are at the gym or the beach. Maybe instead of asking them to cover up their bodies we would do better to cover up our eyes.

Men, I have a ton of empathy and grace for you. But don’t be the one to blame others for your struggles. Keep taking it to Him and be kind to yourself. Jesus will forgive you over and over again. 👊
