The Playboy Problem (2 of 6)
Series: Real Men

Proverbs 7:6-27; James 1:13-15
From Proverbs chapter 7, 1 want to pick just a few verses and we'll
look at others later. In this message from the series on "real men"
dealing with the playboy problem; we'll consider the problem of
temptation; the danger of it; the overcoming of it. Verse 12:
She is now in the streets, now in the squares,
And lurks by every corner.
So she seizes him and kisses him,
And with a brazen face she says to him:

But each one is tempted when he is carried away
and enticed by his own lust.
Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to
sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth
death.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
Hardly a day or week goes by when we do not deal with the problem of
men who have decided to leave their wives. It's a very heart-rending
thing. Unfortunately, magazines, some television shows, the media and
others do not portray the "rest of the story," as Paul Harvey tells
it. And out of that quagmire of heartache come terrible results;
therefore, I'm going to preach very straight and be very honest. I'm
going to call it as God calls it a ...
