Why does God care who I sleep with?

A service with a sermon answering this question in a thought provoking way.

What the Psalms say about sex

You won't often hear this stuff from the pulpit. Janet would have liked this. She is of one voice with the preacher "... however good pre-marital sex may appear, there are always problems down the line." Charlene too when she tells Peter "Having sex outside marriage is falling into a trap set by the devil. Not God stopping harmless fun just to show he's boss. he forbids it because it isn't harmless."

Here are the five main points of this excellent sermon:

  • Sex is powerful (verse 19).
  • We are accountable to God for our sex lives (verse 21).
  • Sex involves dignity and honour (verses 3-4).
  • The voice is a powerful sex organ (verse 3).
  • Sexual and spiritual fidelity go together.

Should Sexual Purity Be Motivated by God’s Vengeance?

Want a whistle-stop through the Bible verses where God makes it plain how he will deal with sexual misconduct? Then watch this. But hang on for the bit reminding us that God's Grace will save us from any sin, including sexual impurity. A gift of course you have to accept. Is this another unique selling point for the Christian faith?

1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a] in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[b] The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.

9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
