The Anatomy of Seduction
Pastor Hayford
offers some biblical advice to Christians (especially men) on the snares of
sexual sin. Even the most spiritual saint can fall into the trap of
pornography, homosexuality, fornication, and adultery. The subtlest aspect of
sexual sin is that it rarely comes full-bloom. It begins in the mind, ferments
there, and manifests itself in the overt act. Hayford offers helpful advice to
counteract this temptation. The avenue into
adultery follow these general steps: 1) mental preoccupation with the other
person, 2) an unusual desire to be near the other person, 3) a growing desire
to give frequent compliments, 4) the supposition that innocent flirtation is
all right, 5) the approach to the other person to commit the sin. The author urges any
believer who senses that he is drifting into dubious thoughts to seek
deliverance of the Holy Spirit. One must confess his sins, not attempting to
whitewash his thoughts and/or conduct. Not only must one confess his sin, but
he also must thoroughly renounce and abandon his sinful conduct. It may be
necessary to confess one’s sin to his spouse. In an appendix
Hayford answers questions about oral and anal sex. |
