101 – Should women dress modestly to support guys trying to overcome lust?

According to some church circles the answer is yes.

But that makes the assumption that men can't think for themselves, are controlled by what women wear, and don't have to take responsibility for their own sinful thoughts.

In this week's episode, I talk about some of the issues involved in overcoming lust.

Even if all women dressed modestly, according to the definition of those self-appointed regulators of what they think the word means, it would not solve the problem. Men would still feel lustful desires.

Jesus explains that these lustful feelings come from the heart, not from what women are wearing. Okay, there are some women who wear things on  purpose to lure a man sexually, but that's here motive. It's a man's responsibility to resist that temptation.

Sometimes we try to hard to overcome a sin. What we really need is to replace the sinful thinking in our hearts with Godlike thinking.

If you are struggling with lustful thoughts, you'll find practical ideas in this episode to help you face this temptation and overcome it.
