Fleeing Youthful Passions(Edit)

The Scriptures say to meditate on what is good, pure, and holy. Still, setting up some defenses against some specific kinds of sin are worthwhile. In fact, my theory is that there is an entire book's worth of discussion on each of the following vulnerabilities:

Pride

• So many sub-types of pride: everything from simple intellectual arrogance over others to attempts to dethrone God. This is an enormous topic and I confess I need a massive spiritual surgery to get on track.
• Book: (Maybe) Humilty: Escaping Pride To Glorify God & Not Self

Lust

• Matthew 5:28
• Book: Every Man's Battle (Caveat: there are some interesting low-star reviews on that page that talk about some deeper points)

Lies

• Book: Dare to be True (didn't finish---ran out of time while borrowing, but also found it to be a little under-aggressive. Withholding final judgment until full review, though I suspect there's another, bolder treatment.)

Anger

• Eph 6:26, James 1:20

Worry

• Philippians 4:6
