Lawrence Taylor is a 10-time Pro Bowler considered by many to be the greatest defensive player of all time in the NFL. Despite all the sacks he amassed on the field, it appears he failed to sack his illicit sexual desires.
A few days ago Taylor was charged with 3rd degree rape and patronizing a prostitute. If convicted the 51 year old faces up to four years in prison. The woman involved was sixteen although she told Taylor she was nineteen.
The Bible speaks at length on the consequences of being involved with prostitutes and sexual sins. Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, but a companion of harlots wastes his wealth (Proverbs 29:3). Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he who does so destroys his own soul (Proverbs 6:32).
The solution to this problem that plagues men can be found in seeking the wisdom of God through his word and building a relationship with him. In his book Courage, Edwin Lewis Cole writes, woman was not created to be mans downfall but his companion. Contrary to popular belief controlling illicit sexual desires leads to true satisfaction.
