The journey to sexual integrity is loaded with potholes and detours. Road Hazards to Sexual Integrity.
Let’s be honest - It’s easy to come out of one ditch and end up stumbling into another. You’ve been doing such important work walking towards sexual wholeness.
When it comes to your lusts, we hope this episode serves to alert you to two pitfalls. As you move forward, be aware of them and be listening for Jesus invitation in it all.
Let’s begin.
Highlights:
Two pitfalls we can fall into:
1. We focus on a body part, reducing a person to an OBJECT.
2. We focus on the person as an OBSTACLE to our sexual integrity.
In both cases, we’re only concerned with ourselves and not the other person.
“There is no dignity when the human dimension is eliminated from the person. In short, the problem with pornography is not that it shows too much of the person, but that it shows far too little.” -Pope John Paul II
Lust doesn’t see a human person. It just sees body parts.
Jesus invites us on the road with Him, so we see the other person as a human.
Practice thinking about the person as a whole, human being.
