🫣Let’s Talk About Sex 🤩

 "That scoreboard at the end of the field isn't the real story. What we've done to touch the lives of others and honor the Lord is the real headline.” Ken Sparks

1 Thessalonians 4:2 (KJV) For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (KJV) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

For you know the commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. Then in the next verse it get more personal when these new believers are told to “abstain from fornication:” Solomon said it like this in 

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV) The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Whatever has happened before will happen again.

This big sex explosion that started back in the 1960’s wasn’t anything new. Matter a fact it had already been going on for years but it just exploded in the 60’s. People just like sex it’s not something we are not to do but there is a correct way and that is where people get off track. Paul says to “abstain” well what does that mean? Well it doesn’t mean take a break from it. Here is what Webster said “hold oneself off, that is, refrain: choose not to do or have something :” Paul is teaching one can’t be set apart and still do what God said is wrong no matter how society looks at it and accepts it. There are two things going on, there is the Internal and the external. We can say what we want too but it’s the outside people see. One can build their own house and finish the inside but take their time on the outside. If one were to look at the house from the outside they wouldn’t see much but if they were to walk inside they would have a much different view. If you and I keep our Christian life Internal and that Internal never gets to the External then all they will ever know is our External. We live in a day where fornication is ok. I mean you wouldn’t buy a car without trying it out first would you? If that’s the way you think then let’s look at it another way. How would you feel if someone else, a complete stranger, opened your birthday gift, oh a nice shirt or pair of pants. Now this complete stranger puts it on and wares it around and then goes back and puts it back in the box? Now when you open the gift let’s say it was a shirt.  Well it looks good except for the stain on the front pocket which can never be removed. It's there for life. God gave mankind a wedding gift which is only to be opened when a man and woman are married, that way there is no comparison, there is no stain. Wonder how many were married who’s gifts aren’t stained? Oh but this day and time that’s old school, others tell me. No, that's God’s School and God says that the marriage bed is undefiled. Hebrews 13:4 (KJV) Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

But wait a minute Paul isn’t saying not to do it he is teaching them to abstain, stop it. Don’t do what I have done for the cost will be greater than you want to pay. The Apostle Paul is teaching and telling what he knows for he has not always been a Child of God. We must learn to let the internal flow to the external. If others hear me use bad language then what makes me any different in my talk externally? If me and my girlfriend are living together then what are we saying externally?  That’s all some will ever see.
