Lust (5 of 7)
Series: Seven Fatal Attractions
Collin Wimberly
I Corinthians. 6:12-20
CIT- Paul commands the Corinthian believes to flee from sexual immorality.
Proposition- Christians today should avoid sexual immorality.
INTRODUCTION:
Our society is inundated with sex, from radio to TV to movies to bill board signs along our streets.
Sexual immorality is one of the greatest dangers facing the 21st century. The book the Di Vinci code is a good example. Clothed in quasi-religious garb, this book is basically a commercial for unrestrained sex. The plot centers around a supposed conspiracy by the Catholic Church to cover up the fact that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and fathered a child by her. The true hero of the story is a brave man and woman who uncover the true worship of the goddess, complete with sex rites and orgiastic worship.
Television portrays adultery and sex outside of marriage as common place, acceptable, and even good. Homosexuality is portrayed as honorable and natural.
Popular teenage idols are typically musicians who not only sing about illicit sex, but practice what they preach.
Pornography is running rampant. Internet porn is quickly degrading our culture. Recent studies show that 1 out of 4 men in church today are addicted to porn.
In the midst of all this confusion, the Bible calls for holiness and purity. Paul commands the Corinthians to flee from sexual immorality. But why? Why is sexual immorality so dangerous? Why does God's word call for a life of uncompromising purity? Paul answers this question in I Corinthians. Corinth was a church in trouble. The church was split. Doctrinally the church was comprised. The Corinthian society was so associated with sexual impurity that to be called a Corinthian meant to be sexually promiscuous. Sound familiar? At the center of this great epistle Paul calls the people to live holy in the midst of this perverted and promiscuous society.
