Mar 2 Marriage and Sexual Relations

It is quite interesting that I will be preaching tomorrow on the importance of sexual purity. God's laws in the OT attest to the importance that God places on keeping marriage sacred. In Leviticus 18, God says, "Do not do as they do..." We are not supposed to be swept up into the culture of our land. God promised if the Israelites did adopt the detestable practices of the people occupying the Promised Land, then the land would vomit out the Israelites...and it did!

Unlawful homosexual and heterosexual sins were equally as abhorrent to God. I don't talk much about homosexual sin because I think the greater sin inside the church is heterosexual sin. The church and parents have been much too silent about the goodness of sex inside marriage. We have let the culture teach sexual values to our children. We must rise up and be bold in proclaiming that is was God who made sex to be wonderful inside marriage.
