Consider all the messages continually bombarding us, tempting us to eat junk food. There are vending machines wherever we go loaded with candy, cake, potato chips, corn chips and soda. There are fast food places such as Wendy's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Hardie's and MacDonalds on every corner. Advertisements with their tempting pictures which seem to say "I am good! Try me!" are forever in front of our eyes. Temptation to do what is actually harmful and destructive to us faces us at every turn. Lying forces are everywhere attempting to pull us into our own destruction. Just as we are being continually bombarded by messages that tempt us to do that which is physically harmful and destructive to us even so we are also being continually bombarded by messages that tempt us to do that which is spiritually and morally destructive to us i.e. all of the lustful, lascivious messages that are everywhere around us in TV ads, magazines, books and movies glamorizing illicit sex.
