Ravi asks “How do you deal with the problem of pleasure?” How to do you cope with the temptations of the flesh? In this message Ravi Zacharias takes the time to explain how we can determine which pleasures in life can be justified and which cannot.

Three principals to help us face the temptation of following after pleasures that have no meaning:
1. Anything that refreshes you without distracting or deterring you from your final goal is a legitimate pleasure.
2. Any pleasure that jeopardizes the right of another is an illicit pleasure.
3. Any pleasure not kept in balance will distort reality or destroy appetite.
