Fireproof Your Marriage 3

Hello Everyone,

To “Fireproof Your Marriage” you need to MAGNIFY THE CONSEQUENCES.

Remind yourself of the devastation and destruction that is caused by sexual sin. Prov. 6;32 But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself!

Nothing damages emotions like sexual sin. Nothing! There are other sins that don't damage as much. But sexual sin leaves permanent scars.

The shame just doesn't seem to go away. The sense of loss to everyone involved is enormous.
Prov. 6:26 "…the adulteress preys upon your very life”.

Remember Esau who was hungry in the Old Testament and he sold his birthright, his inheritance, for a bowl of porridge. I know people today who are selling their life away for one moment of pleasure.

Why be faithful? Three reasons:
1. I love Jesus Christ. I owe Him my life. He died for me. He's my ticket to heaven. Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." There's no doubt that God says no to sex outside of marriage.
2. I love my wife and kids. The thought of hurting them and what that would do to them is almost unbearable for me to even think of.
3. I fear the judgment of God. I think it is a healthy fear that you ought to have. The Bible says, you don't do this and get away with it. You may think you do but you don't. You reap what you sow. One day you will explain to God why you chose to do what He said not to do.

Hebrews 13:4b … God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. You don't get away with it.

You say God wants me to be happy. Yes, that's why He gave this rule. He knows better than you do.

I'm worried about America. If they taught drug education today in our schools the way they do sex education they'd be passing out needles and showing kids how to shoot up.

They need to be told what God says is right and wrong.

All For Jesus
