Scriptural advice about sex

‘For you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in your body.’ 1 Corinthians 6:20 NASB20

American Columnist Ann Landers wrote: ‘Girls need to prove their love through illicit sexual relations like a moose needs a hat rack. Why not prove your love by playing leapfrog in the traffic? It’s about as safe. Clear the cobwebs out of your head! Any guy who asks you to prove your love is trying to take you for the biggest, most gullible fool who ever walked. That proving it bit is one of the … rottenest lines ever invented … Someone who loves you wants whatever is best for you.

But now figure it out. He wants you to commit an immoral act, surrender your virtue, throw away your self-respect, risk the loss of your precious reputation, and risk getting pregnant, getting diseased, or into trouble. Wise up! He wants … what is best for him; he wants a thrill he can brag about at your expense. Love? Who’s kidding whom? A guy who loves a girl would sooner cut off his right arm than hurt her. In truth, this self-serving individual has proved that he doesn’t love you at all. The predictable aftermath … always finds Don Juan tiring of his sport. That’s when he drops you, picks up his line, and goes casting elsewhere for … equally silly fish.

If he loves you, let him prove his love … at the altar.” If you want some sound scriptural advice about sex, here it is: “Your body is … sacred … The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body” (see 1 Corinthians 6:20).

Soulfood: Ruth 1-4 Matt 15:15-28 Ps 119:41-48 Pro 17:17

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
