1 Corinthians 6:12-20
If you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 6. We've been going through verse by verse the Book of 1st Corinthians. And now we're in chapter 6 looking at verse 12 through the end of the chapter.

Fast forward to our day and age, 2011, thirty years later, and it's so much more so, the idea that, hey, everybody's doing it, and it's okay, and it's no big deal. And really, the more that we speak and preach today and you have people that are coming that have never been in church before, they've grown up in a society and they've watched that on TV and it s ...
