Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.
– Romans 1:24-25 (NIV)
Today’s commentary by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
God takes sexual sin seriously. When we give ourselves over to sexual impurity we degrade sex from a beautiful conversation between a husband and wife to a tool (and often a weapon) for personal gratification. The scars of “sexual freedom” often include cynicism toward sex, because sex outside of God’s design cannot deliver what it promises. Yet this current landscape has created an opportunity for the Christian community. Sex as a sacred act within the covenant of marriage needs to be lifted up as the way to give us true freedom—as God originally intended for sex to be.
We are seeing it being lived out before us.
Can you add me to your pinglist?
I don’t have a ping list but thanks for asking. I do read “The Daily Bible Verse” by Pastor Dave everyday
because when I found his site, for me, he has a way of
making verses out of the Bible so understandable and
relevant. I will start posting “The Daily Bible Verse”
on Free Republic daily on the religion Devotional site.
Okay, thanks.
