1 Corinthians 5-8
I sometimes think that God did too good a job in giving us a sex drive so that we might procreate.  It seems that this drive gets us into a lot of trouble.  Paul devotes a lot of words to this subject: “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins people commit are outside their bodies, but those who sin sexually sin against their own bodies.”  I have seen people sacrifice everything in order to fulfill a sexual desire.  It’s sad when families are broken and relationships destroyed because of sexual immorality.  The apostle makes a distinction between this sin and all others.  I wonder how many Christians consider that when they are engaged in practicing sexual immorality that the Lord is right there!  Our bodies are His temple, His dwelling place!  How do you suppose it makes Him feel when His temple is invaded in such a manner?
