Stanek Sunday quote: “Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does.”
You may say, “I am allowed to do anything.” But I reply, “Not everything is good for you.” And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything…. But our bodies were not made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies….
Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Or don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
~ I Corinthians 6:12,13b,18-20, New Living Translation

If just those people who profess to be Christian would follow these words, our world would be a different place.
Love this! God poured his grace down on me when I left my life of impurity for sacrificial chastity.
You mean if MORE of those people who profess to be Christians, Mary. Many of us DO follow these words..and many more.
And even further, sexual sin affects not just the body, but a person’s psyche/emotional health. Not even with just consentual sex. If one is violated by an infidelity, sexual abuse, etc. think of the years and years of counseling one has to endure.
Amen, and amen, and if only this were emblasoned in mile-high letters in view of everyone!
Just like homosexuality is an abomination and so is fornication. If you really care about people sinning like this then do your best to pray about them. It shows you care!
A true Christian doesnt pick and choose what sins will fly. NONE OF THEM DO! these people need prayer. Yes we need to love the person but we Christians must never approve of the abominations they live. If you tell them you accept their lifestyle then you really do not care about them. Oh and NO I AM NOT saying to bully them. Try to show them that it’s wrong. A true friend would do so.
