Lust - The Giant That Slew David

Did you know that one of the greatest events in history has an equally tragic sequel?
First there was David and Goliath, when David kills Goliath in one of the greatest moments in history.

But there is a horrible sequel, David and Bathsheba, when David was killed by another giant. You say wait, didn't David kill Goliath? Yes, wonderfully by God's power this humble teen aged David slew God's enemy Goliath. But later in life a proud David:

-Ignored God's Word
-Allowed another giant to come right into God's city Jerusalem.
-Welcomed God's enemy into the presence of this man after God's own heart.

David was slain by the giant of LUST!

That is exactly the warning James gave.
