1 CORINTHIANS 6:18
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

Christians are free to be all they can be for God, but they are not free from God. God created sex to be a beautiful and essential ingredient of marriage, but sexual sin—sex outside the marriage relationship—always hurts someone. It hurts God because it shows that we prefer following our own desires instead of the leading of the Holy Spirit. It hurts others because it violates the commitment so necessary to a relationship. It often brings disease to our bodies. And it deeply affects our personality, which responds in anguish when we harm ourselves physically and spiritually.

Dear Lord,
We thank you for all you have done, are doing and will do for us. We ask that as we read your WORD we also allow the WORD to read us! We humbly ask that you reveal to us what we need to know, as you intended and that we will go out into the world to bring you glory each and every day! In Jesus name we pray. AMEN.
