“You shall not commit adultery.” Exodus 20:14

Because sexual intimacy is ordained by God to only be enjoyed in biblical marriage, a word for both singles and married couples.

Single people: Do not believe the world’s lies that sex outside of marriage is permissible and perfectly alright. God’s Word says otherwise. Waiting until marriage is not a quaint old idea to be disregarded. It is God’s will. So, be serious about marriage. Plan for marriage. Marry according to God’s will. Instead of giving into sexual desires before marriage, get married and have a family (1 Corinthians 7:8-9).

Married couples: Remain committed to each other in this aspect of marriage according to 1 Corinthians 7:1-5. And understand that with age, and or physical limitations, this aspect of marriage may change. Contrary to the world’s delusion, sex is not the chief end of life, or even of marriage.

Lord, may we not be conformed to this sin-sick world, but rather, may we constantly be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Have mercy on us, protecting us and our families as we live in this world. May we be salt and light in our world as we remain committed to living according to Your will as revealed in Your Word. Amen.
