True, if we lost our connection with God, there comes a lot of temptations around us. It is very difficult at some point of our lives but we should be persistent to be in touch with our Lord.
I struggled for a while with porn but that’s not the issue anymore. Now it’s just lust in my thoughts and constantly desiring physical intimacy.

Bro i was exactly like you..i know just how you feel..especially living in a society where your worth as are human being is predicated on how many women you can attain or whether you have had sex or not. Ot makes you feel worthless. With social media and feminism real biblical relationships are dead...rare at best.. One day Jesus gabe me a revelation of how much he suffered for me and you. It changed me.. It caused me to be able to endure any amount of suffering for his sake...some people will have to bear the cross of loneliness or love a sexless existence..BUT 80 years of suffering is worth an eternity with Christ...i want to commend you for your virginity brother.. At the end of the day you have to decide is sex worth your right standing with Christ.. He even warns us Matthew 16:24-26 (NKJV) “Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. The more you focus on what you dont have the more ungrateful you become and sex starts to look better than your salvation. Jesus says to focus on things lf above not on things of this world...its easier said than done but the word works when you work the word.. bro I'm in the same exact situation as you..im a good looking guy and a good job and i habe to turn down sexual advances all the time..ppl call me gay, wierdo and just cant understand...it hurts but its worth it..you can do it bro..Jesus is almost here and all your pain will be relieved
Good teaching. Just because the vast majority of people do something immoral, that isn't any excuse for Christians to follow suit. We must all remember that on the Day of Judgment we will have to give an account to God for every word and action of our lives (Matt 12:36). We will be on our own before God on that day. There will be no hiding in the crowd. And all bad excuses will be exposed for what they really are.
@@DISCÍPULO_GASHAM Those who are in Christ will be saved from hell, but we will still be judged. As Paul says in 2 Cor 5:10: 'For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.' For the saved, the amount of rewards we will receive on the Day of Judgment will depend on how much good and bad we have done in our lives on this earth. Paul is referring to this when he says in 1 Cor 3:14-15: 'If anyone’s work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, it will be lost, but he will be saved; yet it will be like an escape through fire.' (CSB) So on the Day of Judgment everyone will be judged. The unsaved will be sent to hell, while the saved will enter into final salvation but with differing levels of reward. So it isn't right to say that there is no judgment of any kind for those in Christ. Rather, there is no judgment that involves being sentenced to hell.
God please help my sexual desires be pleasing and righteous in your eyes. It is the most strenuous sin in my life right now, and I pray that your glory shines through me instead of lustful darkness.
John Piper is right about triviality in worship. Too many churches have a too casual and familiar attitude towards God. It is possible to go too far the other way and be too UNfamiliar with Him. Jesus does teach us to address God as Father, so it is right to have some level of familiarity with Him. But more often than not, Christians are too familiar rather than too unfamiliar with God.

@@UnfinishedRiot Very good . Anyway a woman must belongs to just one man biblically. This has nothing to with "sex drive" at all. Anyway , have you noticed that the Bible never uses the phrase "sex drive" or "libido" but teaches sexual obligation in marriage in order to avoid temptations ? How I love how God always gets straight to the point unlike most modern pastors like Piper .
@@meeks4004 Do you realise that the Bible never talks about low or high sex drive ? Because this is not a problem at all since sex in marriage according to the Lord , happens when one spouse wants it ( 1 Co 7:5). So , where is the problem ? God created men with a higher sex drive because men need it to perform sex. Women are just receivers . Most Christians today have been fed with poisoned lie of sexual consent , something that is not of God at all. How marital duty has been changed by professional LIARS disguised as pastors into something about "libido" , "free will" , "mutual consent" is purely demonic. We have to go back to what THE LORD says. Not what the poisoned modern church system says.
@@framboise595 I hope you’re not tryna call pastor John modern bro. He didn’t mention marriage bc that wasn’t the topic he was tackling. It was related but is an entirely different concept from connecting intellectually and emotionally with God. Plus, by the way he frequently changes tones and changes how loud/expressive he gets, he prolly has tons of things going through his head that he can’t all say at once
if you think that sex is "dirty" or sinful, its because your consciounce has been defiled. Everything God created is good and right!! To the pure, all things are pure!! Just because you have the desire to have sex does not mean your wicked. God created us with those desires so we can reproduce and further the species and God wants godly offspring!! All men have these strong desires, whether your a doctor or lawyer or pastor etc.. all men have these desires. Look at Josepth, Josepth had "controlled passion"!! if Joeseph slept with pharoahs wife, it would of been bad for him and he would of been put to death. Have controlled passion because lust can bring a man into ruin and lead to death {stds and addictions and unwanted circumstances}

The church itself has an infatuation with sex. If you try so hard to avoid something, you have an infatuation with it, albeit the infatuation to avoid it.
God didn't create man for carnal sex. Scripture says God gave us up to the lusts of our own hearts and the lust of the flesh is not from God, but from the world. Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
@@johnpiper273 Please stop what you're doing for God's sake!

Then, rigorously transform and change your mind (soul) with the words of Jesus (Matthew 7:20-23; Matthew 5)

@@stumpintheearth1088 My understanding of levitical law, regarding sanitation especially, is that this doesn't mean sex is a shameful filthy thing. I think the important point is that the vast majority of sex and sex-related thought/content is out of the right context, making it an idol etc. And that we should be very careful because of how powerful the instinct is. www.bereanpatriot.com/why-lusting-in-matthew-527-28-doesnt-make-all-men-adulterers/#Lust-or-Coveting This was instructive to me, because I thought even attraction was sin before.

According to our apostle paul’s ministry in The King James Bible,we are only saved by believing The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross,shed His Blood for all of our sins,was buried and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ Shed Blood is what saves you when you believe this plan of salvation with your heart.Romans 3:25.

Bro i was exactly like you..i know just how you feel..especially living in a society where your worth as are human being is predicated on how many women you can attain or whether you have had sex or not. Ot makes you feel worthless. With social media and feminism real biblical relationships are dead...rare at best..
One day Jesus gabe me a revelation of how much he suffered for me and you. It changed me.. It caused me to be able to endure any amount of suffering for his sake...some people will have to bear the cross of loneliness or love a sexless existence..BUT 80 years of suffering is worth an eternity with Christ...i want to commend you for your virginity brother.. At the end of the day you have to decide is sex worth your right standing with Christ..
He even warns us
Matthew 16:24-26 (NKJV) “Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
The more you focus on what you dont have the more ungrateful you become and sex starts to look better than your salvation. Jesus says to focus on things lf above not on things of this world...its easier said than done but the word works when you work the word.. bro I'm in the same exact situation as you..im a good looking guy and a good job and i habe to turn down sexual advances all the time..ppl call me gay, wierdo and just cant understand...it hurts but its worth it..you can do it bro..Jesus is almost here and all your pain will be relieved
help us to stop seeking carnal pleasure and instead seek everlasting joy with you Lord
Good teaching.
Just because the vast majority of people do something immoral, that isn't any excuse for Christians to follow suit.
We must all remember that on the Day of Judgment we will have to give an account to God for every word and action of our lives (Matt 12:36). We will be on our own before God on that day. There will be no hiding in the crowd. And all bad excuses will be exposed for what they really are.
Isn’t there no judgement for those in Christ?
@@DISCÍPULO_GASHAM Those who are in Christ will be saved from hell, but we will still be judged.
As Paul says in 2 Cor 5:10:
'For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.'
For the saved, the amount of rewards we will receive on the Day of Judgment will depend on how much good and bad we have done in our lives on this earth.
Paul is referring to this when he says in 1 Cor 3:14-15:
'If anyone’s work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, it will be lost, but he will be saved; yet it will be like an escape through fire.' (CSB)
So on the Day of Judgment everyone will be judged. The unsaved will be sent to hell, while the saved will enter into final salvation but with differing levels of reward.
So it isn't right to say that there is no judgment of any kind for those in Christ. Rather, there is no judgment that involves being sentenced to hell.
God please help my sexual desires be pleasing and righteous in your eyes. It is the most strenuous sin in my life right now, and I pray that your glory shines through me instead of lustful darkness.
John Piper is right about triviality in worship. Too many churches have a too casual and familiar attitude towards God.
It is possible to go too far the other way and be too UNfamiliar with Him. Jesus does teach us to address God as Father, so it is right to have some level of familiarity with Him.
But more often than not, Christians are too familiar rather than too unfamiliar with God.
So is the fake John Piper account gonna reply to my comment too, or has it been too long after the initial posting of this video?

I'm really lucky, very low sex drive. Only want to be with one man in marriage, the love of my life and my best friend!
Not soo lucky for your man though with that low sex drive
@@meeks4004 You misunderstand, my sex drive is low in the sense I only get interested in one person: my man!
@@UnfinishedRiot
Very good . Anyway a woman must belongs to just one man biblically. This has nothing to with "sex drive" at all.
Anyway , have you noticed that the Bible never uses the phrase "sex drive" or "libido" but teaches sexual obligation in marriage in order to avoid temptations ?
How I love how God always gets straight to the point unlike most modern pastors like Piper .
@@meeks4004
Do you realise that the Bible never talks about low or high sex drive ? Because this is not a problem at all since sex in marriage according to the Lord , happens when one spouse wants it ( 1 Co 7:5). So , where is the problem ? God created men with a higher sex drive because men need it to perform sex. Women are just receivers .
Most Christians today have been fed with poisoned lie of sexual consent , something that is not of God at all.
How marital duty has been changed by professional LIARS disguised as pastors into something about "libido" , "free will" , "mutual consent" is purely demonic.
We have to go back to what THE LORD says. Not what the poisoned modern church system says.
@@framboise595 I hope you’re not tryna call pastor John modern bro. He didn’t mention marriage bc that wasn’t the topic he was tackling. It was related but is an entirely different concept from connecting intellectually and emotionally with God. Plus, by the way he frequently changes tones and changes how loud/expressive he gets, he prolly has tons of things going through his head that he can’t all say at once
if you think that sex is "dirty" or sinful, its because your consciounce has been defiled. Everything God created is good and right!! To the pure, all things are pure!! Just because you have the desire to have sex does not mean your wicked. God created us with those desires so we can reproduce and further the species and God wants godly offspring!! All men have these strong desires, whether your a doctor or lawyer or pastor etc.. all men have these desires. Look at Josepth, Josepth had "controlled passion"!! if Joeseph slept with pharoahs wife, it would of been bad for him and he would of been put to death. Have controlled passion because lust can bring a man into ruin and lead to death {stds and addictions and unwanted circumstances}
@ Andrew Ortiz
The pharao's wife was a married woman. That's what God calls adultery. But that is not what Piper and co preach today.
@ Andrew Ortiz
Sex is hated today because man is hated. The misandric spirit of our western world has reached the church system and has poisoned it .
Pastors should fix themselves first before condemning the world. Ravi Zacharias, Carl Lentz, Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart....

The church itself has an infatuation with sex. If you try so hard to avoid something, you have an infatuation with it, albeit the infatuation to avoid it.

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!
God didn't create man for carnal sex. Scripture says God gave us up to the lusts of our own hearts and the lust of the flesh is not from God, but from the world.
Romans 1:24
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
@@johnpiper273 Please stop what you're doing for God's sake! God has made a better life for you than this, which is yours only if you put faith in the blood, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then, rigorously transform and change your mind (soul) with the words of Jesus (Matthew 7:20-23; Matthew 5)
@ John Piper pseudepigrapha is alive and well I see.
I do think that takes it one step too far. Male and female he created them. Even though we weren't created primarily for sex, it isn't a filthy and sinful thing inherently, only in the wrong contexts.
@@B10401 Correcting you brother, in love and not as one better than you or outside of the bondage we call this flesh body,
*Leviticus 15:16*
And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and *be unclean* until the even
*Leviticus 15:17*
And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and *be unclean* until the even.
Leviticus 15:18
The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and *be unclean* until the even.
@@stumpintheearth1088 My understanding of levitical law, regarding sanitation especially, is that this doesn't mean sex is a shameful filthy thing. I think the important point is that the vast majority of sex and sex-related thought/content is out of the right context, making it an idol etc. And that we should be very careful because of how powerful the instinct is.

omgosh, ive read the comments sections and many of you people are so hard on yourselves!! no, i dont have a problem with porn, i may watch it maybe once a week, maybe, no biggie.some men have made porn their idol and they watch it 20 times a day,, and thats a problem.. i overcame a worse habit, drug and alcohol addiction.. id rather have a porn lust habit than a drug addiction any day!!
According to our apostle paul’s ministry in The King James Bible,we are only saved by believing The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross,shed His Blood for all of our sins,was buried and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ Shed Blood is what saves you when you believe this plan of salvation with your heart.Romans 3:25.

so sex is something human shouldn't enjoy because it is unholy, because God never had sex. maybe human had sex after they fall in sins
Sex is holy in the confines of a marriage between male and female, but lust, fornication is unholy.
@@charlesremnant8517
Yeah but where has marital duty gone as the Bible teaches 1 Co 7:5 ? Satan is behing the twisted modern teachings on marriage .
@ Luan Sidadolog
Wrong. God blessed mankind with sex way before the orginal sin.
God blessed them and said Be fruitful and multiply" just after saying that man would go to his wife and the two shall become one flesh .
One flesh is an obvious reference to sex.
It wasnt until i was baptised with the Holy ghost that i received power over sin..Now sin is a choice for me. Delivered from sexual sin, hatred of women and drug addiction!
