A Biblical Strategy for Fighting Sexual Lust

A good message here from Rick Holland at the Resolved Conference.

Using Proverbs 5, he identifies six biblical strategies that will ensure sexual purity:
  1. Undertake the pursuit of biblical instruction (Prov. 5:1-2).
  2. Undress the deception of sexual sin (Prov. 5:3-6).
  3. Understand the value of safe distance (Prov. 5:7-8).
  4. Unmask the regret of sin’s aftermath (Prov. 5:9-14).
  5. Unlock the satisfaction of marital fidelity or intimacy (Prov. 5:15-19).
  6. Unleash the power of God’s omniscience (Prov. 5:20-23).
You can also read a manuscript below from an earlier version. The Resolved message was different, but the general outline is the same:
