"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body."
When this verse was written sexual sin had become so common place in Corinth that some believers had begun thinking it was acceptable. Today we face the same problem. There is a litany of "acceptable" sexual sins in our society, and we have become so confused with sexuality that we argue over points that should be self evident.
God makes it clear that there is something different about this sin ... It is more dangerous than others.
Today, pornography is readily available, promiscuity seems to be the norm, and perversion is legislated .. It is interesting to note that evil's playbook has not changed much in the last 2000 years. This is still the enemy's favorite weapon. Broken families destroyed by sexual sin are common place, and numerous ministries have been reduced to "spiritual roadkill" - dead and useless on the roadway for all to see.
We are given a clear directive when confronted with sexual sin... Run.
Some temptation you fight... this one you flee. Your natural reaction to a rattle snake is to immediately get away....spiritually this should be your reaction to immorality. It defiles you in ways that other sin does not and will destroy the sanctity of your soul.
Let's rip off the callouses that our culture has created regarding this sin, and view it as the rattlesnake it is. Guard your eyes and your thoughts. The enemy comes to" kill steal and destroy" and this sin is what he uses to do it.
Do not allow the poison of sexual sin to invade your soul, and you will protect your heart, your family, and your legacy.
"Regardless of what society says, we can't go on much longer in the sea of immorality without judgment coming."
- Billy Graham
