Outline 

I. THE PROBLEM: RIGHT APPRAISAL (LOOKING) -> WRONG APPLICATION (LUSTING)
“Every man who knocks on the door of a brothel is looking for God.” - G.K. Chesterton
II. THE COMMANDMENT: LOOKING -> LOVING
“Then turning toward the woman [Jesus] said to Simon, ‘Do you see this woman?’” - Luke 7.44
III. THE BETTER WAY
"Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed." - The Great Divorce
Takeaway: “No man should think he is making any progress in holiness if he does not walk over the neck of his lusts” - John Owen
