Carnal Desire

"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires... " Maybe this isn't just about sinning. Maybe its about living with a world view formed by popular music, uncensored cinema, literature, games, and conversation with friends who have a carnal world view ... anything that feeds our carnal desires.

Carnal desires? Carnal desire isn't just about sex, but about any desire that doesn't serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Uncensored... What an unpopular word! But I don't mean censored in the usual sense of the word - I mean an internal sort of censorship, a personal habit of screening the incoming data and thinking backwards to the philosophical sources, then forwards to their logical conclusions - and asking myself not only "Is it true?" but "Is it right?"
