Attraction and Lust (The Last in this series)

I ran across some great quotes.. I am not sure if they are copyrighted or who wrote them, but if you know, tell me and I will attribute them.

"Puberty is the time of life when a child's body begins to turn into an adult body. It is a very dramatic and exciting time of life. As your body matures and you come of age, you will be attracted to the opposite sex. In many cases, this attraction will be compelling and you will have to deal with it. How you deal with it will make a major difference in the quality of your life and your service for the Lord as long as you live"

"Worldly is that which is sensual, that which stimulates, titillates or inflames the flesh."

"It also includes how you dress. Certain dress and hairstyles are sensual because they make a sexual statement and stimulate the flesh.

Christian young ladies need to understand that certain sensual dress and frizzy hairstyles say to a boy, "Try me, I might. " They are a subtle offer of sex. That is what makes them popular and exciting, isn't it? "

Attraction: Makes you want to be around that person more. You want to get to know them better, talk to them, be with them, etc..

Lust: You don't want to be around that person, you just want to make use of their body. You are not interested in a relationship, you just want to use their body to satisfy your sexual desires.
