Sex don't let it control you.

[cs80918]

The devil has come to steal, kill and destroy.  One of the weapons he uses against men is sex.

Look at all the men of this world who have fallen, because they have been caught in sex scandals.

Look at all the men in prison who were carried away by lust and assualted a woman and now are paying for it.

Look at all the christian men who when alone watch porn or cheat on their wife or fornicate.

I believe biggest problem facing the church is sex.

If christian men could bridle their passion through the power of Jesus, then many wonderful thing would take place.

It would really help if people actually used the scriptures that addressed this.

1 Corinthians
6:18 Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,
6:20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

Proverbs
6:26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.

But they don't. The problem with these passages are that they suggest that God loves men and wants them to respect themselves and their own bodies, and people don't want that.

Most women, I believe, perceive the matter of sexual purity to be one of self-respect and they are correct (and effective) to do so. Yet, suddenly, when a man is sexually immoral, it always becomes a matter of sinning against someone else, contrary to what scripture states.

As long as people hate men so much not to want to give them the same sorts of messages they've been giving women--respect your own body and protect yourself--any man who wants to be sexually pure will indeed find himself up against the entire world, discover the love that God has for him that is almost impossible to come by from anywhere in the world.

The use of one's body to be a vessel (a temple) of the Holy Spirit is so much better than sexual immorality.
