You Are God's Temple: Devotions From Time of Graceনমুনা

Honor God With Your Sexuality First Corinthians chapter 7 is a marvelous essay on the paradox of single versus married life. In it you will hear Paul urge marriage for all, since there was (and regrettably still is) so much sexual immorality. You will also hear him urge the single life, since he personally so highly prized his independence. So which is it? Does God prefer singlehood or marriage? The answer is yes. Anyone who is living in the 21st century is forced to live in an age of sex obsession in America. Sexual temptation is one of Satan’s very best weapons. It works reliably and leaves a trail of human wreckage in its wake. Here is God’s will for your temple: “The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body” (1 Corinthians 6:13). Someone you know needs to know these things. Let God help you organize your thinking about human sexuality.
