ADULTERY IN THE HEART Matthew 5: "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Nothing Good About Adultery Name one good thing about adultery Marriage better? Happier children? Adultery – wrecks homes, destroys lives, harms children, ruins reputations Today we are looking at the “almost” adultery – adultery in the heart, mind and thought – but not an actual act of fornication.

A problem of the heart Without physically touching anyone else, it is possible to commit adultery. Sexting (Texting sexual messages) Phone sex Pornography Posting suggestive photos on Facebook Sending sexual photos from your phone Using video phones (Skype) Ogling people of the opposite sex

A problem of the heart Like many other sins – lust begins on the inside It will eventually work its way out This is a “heart” problem A powerful, very real problem

A Godly man falls Step #1 – He wasn't where he was supposed to be. 2 Samuel 11:1 It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

A Godly man falls Step #1 – He wasn't where he was supposed to be. Step #2 – He looked at something he shouldn't have seen. 2 Samuel 11:2 Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold.

A Godly man falls Step #1 – He wasn't where he was supposed to be. Step #2 – He looked at something he shouldn't have seen. Step #3 – He asked a question he had no business asking. 2 Samuel 11:3 So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, "Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?"

A Godly man falls Step #1 – He wasn't where he was supposed to be. Step #2 – He looked at something he shouldn't have seen. Step #3 – He asked a question he had no business asking. At first this sounds innocent The lust is well hidden at this point Outwardly – David has done nothing wrong

A Godly man falls Step #1 – He wasn't where he was supposed to be. Step #2 – He looked at something he shouldn't have seen. Step #3 – He asked a question he had no business asking. Step #4 – He sought something that wasn't his to have. 2 Samuel 11:4a Then David sent messengers, and took her; I am alone. She is alone. God wants me to be happy. No one will ever know. It is really her fault.

A Godly man falls Step #1 – He wasn't where he was supposed to be. Step #2 – He looked at something he shouldn't have seen. Step #3 – He asked a question he had no business asking. Step #4 – He sought something that wasn't his to have. Step #5 – He did something he never should have done. 2 Samuel 11:4b and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house James 1:15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

three Decisions (1) I must avoid lust producing situations (1)This a personal choice – know your limits (2)There is a line that you must not cross (3)This means – TV shows I don't watch (4) Psalm 101:3a I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; (5)Radio stations, movies, places, books, parties – There are things I don't participate in.

three Decisions (1) I must avoid lust producing situations 1 Peter 4:3-4 3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles--when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. 4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

Three Decisions (1) I must avoid lust producing situations. (2)I must avoid provoking lust in others (1)Lasciviousness = Causing lust to be produced in another (Galatians 5:19) (2)Dress, wink, suggestive comments (3)Sometimes we send out mixed messages

Three Decisions (1) I must avoid lust producing situations. (2)I must avoid provoking lust in others (3)I must purposely choose purity (1)Keep the ability to blush – Jeremiah 6:15a Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed; Nor did they know how to blush. (2)This decision must be made in ADVANCE.

Adultery Physical adultery is a sin. Spiritual adultery is a sin. Adultery in the heart is also a sin. Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. How is your heart today?
