Bible Verse of The Day – 6-22-23

1 Corinthians 6:18-19 (NKJV) 18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

What is one thing that can keep millions of people from entering heaven?

Fornication. It is sex between two unmarried people. A sin against our body, the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

We are not our own.

Sexual immorality is a lifestyle in today’s world.

Oh yes, people think its OK to live together and have sex without being married. Fornication is a big problem even in the lives of believers today.

The Bible’s message warning against fornication has definitely been watered down, and we have become desensitized to it.

It is not something we should take lightly.

When two people are living together outside of marriage, this is not even close to the same things as being committed or joined together as one in marriage.

Some people say, “well, I’ve been with so-and-so for many years”.

If you have not been joined together under God in matrimony, it means nothing.

Living together and having sex like a married couple, despite not being married, does not equate to being married. Anyone doing this is a fornicator. It doesn’t count as a marriage.

You are in the same category as the unrighteous.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

It is very important as a believer to understand that having sex outside of marriage is fornication and that fornicators will not enter the kingdom of heaven, unless they repent, make it right with God, and change their lifestyle.

Just because something is commonly accepted in today’s world, it does not make it right in God’s eyes.

If you are His child, make things right. Don’t be having sex unless you are married. And if your person will not marry you, then get out of the relationship. It’s as simple as that.

Your eternal life depends on you making the right choice for you.

If you need someone to do a marriage ceremony for you, we are willing to do it for you.

You don’t need a fancy wedding with a big crowd. You don’t need to spend a lot of money.

Just help us get there and give us a little of your time, and we will get it done.

May God help you make the right decision today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-19-20

Colossians 3:5 (NKJV) 5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

The first thing listed above is fornication.

United States census data from 2012 shows that 7.8 million couples were living together at that time, without walking down the aisle, compared to 2.9 million in 1996.

And two-thirds of couples married in 2012 shared a home together for more than two years before they ever made the commitment to marriage.

And recently, it has become a more common option than marriage. According to new U.S. Census Bureau data, as of 2018 15 percent of young adults ages 25-34 live with an unmarried partner.

People are thinking this is the way to go, but do they realize the danger in it?

It’s just getting worse.

It’s not hard to get a marriage license. What’s hard is thinking that we can live together and nothing is wrong with it. We can’t just live together and think God’s going to bless our situation.

Fornication brings on the wrath of God. In His eyes it is direct disobedience toward Him.

Colossians 3:6 (NKJV) 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience…

This is a warning to those that think, for whatever reason, that it’s OK.

The world we live in today may say it’s better, but God has a different view. He says put fornication to death.

Do whatever it takes and make it right. Repent and get married.

There is nothing like saying our vows to each other before God. It is what makes it a Holy Matrimony; a lifelong commitment between a man and women that lasts until death.

May God bless your marriage today!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-27-18

Ephesians 5:3-7 (NKJV) 3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.

Sexual immorality, impurities, greed. Let them not even be named among you.

This is some heavy-hitting stuff. The apostle Paul was very blunt with the Ephesians about this. And oh, how we could use some straightforward talk about these things today!

It’s important that we recognize and understand that Paul wasn’t speaking to the world, unsaved people. He was speaking to the Ephesian Christians! And if it was good for them to hear, it is surely good for us to hear.

Paul then went on to address some other things, such as obscene stories (filthiness), foolish talk and coarse jokes. He bluntly said that these are not fitting for followers of Christ to engage in.

Instead, we should use our mouths to give thanks to God, for His mercy, grace, forgiveness, love and so much more.

You see, it’s important that we understand that no sexually immoral person, no impure person and no greedy person (idolater) will inherit the kingdom of God.

Harsh words? No. Just true words being shared out of love and concern for the body of Christ.

Many times, we try to sidestep these difficult topics because we don’t like what God’s word says. Or we are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, so we choose to say nothing.

But choosing to say nothing isn’t what we should do. Paul spoke out because he loved the Ephesian Christians! And this is why we share these very tough words today, because we love you and want God’s best for you!

If there are those who would speak empty words to you, to soothe your conscience, pay no attention to them, for they will lead you into God’s wrath.

The ways of the world have crept into the body of Christ and we have begun to embrace some terrible things as being acceptable.

It’s important that we hear the truth, even when it hurts, even when it makes us angry. We can’t correct the error in our lives if we are never told that it’s error. And as long as nobody says anything, we will just coast along, doing what we choose to do.

But we are all accountable to God. We are all responsible for the choices we make as His children.

Let each of us heed His words and His instruction, as well as His warning against these kinds of behavior. Let us seek Him and His forgiveness for our wayward actions and lack of accountability.

God, I seek you and ask for your forgiveness today for the things I have said and done. I have fallen into some terrible behavior and habits. I am truly sorry. Please forgive me and help me to be strong and resist the temptation when it comes. Help me to change my ways and make them pleasing to you. Thank you for loving me and forgiving me. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-26-17

1 Corinthians 7:1-2 (NKJV) Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

We want to talk about the seriousness of sexual immorality. The world today is full of it. But, that does not make it right.

Because we are not of this world that we live in, we must remember that being physically intimate with a woman or man outside of marriage is wrong, no matter how we look at it.

We can try to justify it by saying “We are planning on getting married soon, so it’s OK to live together and act as if we are married”. The truth is, it’s really NOT OK.

Be careful not to get desensitized. God says “no” to sexual immortality. Make the right choice today.

Dear God in Heaven,

Today I come to You and ask for help to make things right. Please forgive me for being involved in sexual immorality.  I am truly sorry and want to change this and make it right. I want to live right and be pleasing and acceptable in Your eyes.

Cleanse me, Lord, and strengthen me to be able to say no to this temptation. Help me to take the steps I need to take to prevent it from happening over and over again. I surrender this desire in me and I ask for Your help. Guide my steps, Oh Lord.

In Jesus’ name I ask. Amen.
