Contrary virtue Chastity against lust - Meaning purity in conduct and intention; abstention from unlawful sexual intercourse; restraint and simplicity in design or expression Self-control - Self control and self mastery prevent pleasure from killing the soul by suffocation. Legitimate pleasures are controlled in the same way an athlete's muscles are: for maximum efficiency without damage. Lust is the self-destructive drive for pleasure out of proportion to its worth. Sex, power, or image can be used well, but they tend to go out of control. Christian faith is not a destination — not an arrival at some point — but a journeying. It's a walk. And again remember — that walk calls us to take up our cross — to kiss the crosses in our lives — but also to stay in the city until we're clothed with power from on high — knowing that the Christ never turns His back on us — but leads us on — on to life and to sharing life with others. Maganda yung preaching ni Pr Dan kagabi, very powerful message from the pulpit!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless! Sayonara!
