Inordinate Desires

Between Two Worlds linked to a great David Powlison article and I encourage you to check it out:

Just listen to a few of the questions that are asked (and answered):

– How can you tell if a desire is inordinate rather than natural?

– Doesn’t the word lusts properly apply only to bodily appetites: the pleasures and comforts of sex, food, drink, rest, exercise, health?

– Can desires be habitual?

– What about fears? They seem as important in human motivation as cravings.

– In counseling, do you just confront a person with his sinful cravings?

– Can you change what you want?
