With part two of our podcast on overcoming porn coming out today, I wanted to share a saying from one of the Desert Fathers on the topic of lust:
"When Cyrus of Alexandria was asked about the temptation of lust, he said, 'If you are not tempted, you have no hope; if you are not tempted, it is because you are sinning. The man who does not fight against sin at the stage of temptation is sinning already in his body. The man who is sinning in his flesh has no trouble from temptation.'" |
