Sexual Immorality

Sexual Immorality plagues our world today! It is responsible for countless marriages ending in divorce, children separated from parents, even ministers of the gospel becoming disqualified to continue leading the people God has entrusted them.

It is the age-old problem that deals with an unquenchable thirst for more. It is a beast that is never satisfied and thus it should not be entertained! God designed sex to meet the physical, social, and spiritual needs of a man and a woman, but like anything else, becomes perverted when practiced outside of His divine order. According to the Word of God, sex is only to be enjoyed by those who have made a commitment to covenant of marriage between a man and a woman. Anything else is sin in God's eyes!

This sexually charged society we live in will make you believe sex is okay with whomever, whenever... NOT SO! The Bible has lots to say about sexual and marital purity (Rom 1:24-32, 1Cor 6:9-10, Gal 5:19-21, Lev 18:6-30, 2Cor 11:2, and Titus 2:5). In Job 31:1, Job understood this, so he made a covenant with his eyes, not to look upon a woman lustfully. It would serve us well to make one too!

My friends, be pure before God and live a life that captures His favor, blessing, and power!

"For God wants you to be holy and pure, and to keep clear of all sexual sin so that each of you will marry in holiness and honor-not in lustful passion as the heathen do, in their ignorance of God and His ways." - 1Thes 4:4

Be Blessed!
