It's not surprising to me at all that given the sexual obsession of our culture and given the pleasure orientation of sin that somebody would struggle with lust. There [are] a couple things that are important to remember. One is that I can't blame my environment because it's always the evil inside of me that hooks me to the evil outside of me.
My Biggest Sexual Dysfunction Is My Heart
So I have to own that my biggest sexual dysfunction isn't environmental. It's not cultural. It's my heart. It's the way I own things for myself and I take them for my pleasure, and I want to write my own rules, and I want what I want when I want it. You could argue that lust is rooted in self-glory and self-sovereignty. So if I'm dealing with lust, I have to own that my biggest problem is me and so, if that's the case, I'm not going to solve my lust problem in isolation.
I need help. I need help of a Redeemer and I need His instruments of help in my life. And I want to say to people who are there, own your struggle. Know that your Savior is not shocked by what you're dealing with, and run where help can be found.
