Sex is a crucial area of Christian singleness. Sex is so crucial because it is so intimately related to who we are. And it's the area in which many single believers find their biggest struggle...
In 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, Paul discussed sex outside of marriage. The bottom line of his argument was that sex outside of the marriage covenant is sin and is totally contrary to God's agenda for single believers. That bedrock truth never changes in any culture or any setting.
Paul was arguing that sexual purity outside of marriage is demanded because of God the Father, it's expected because of God the Son, and it's possible because of God the Spirit. Some Christian singles falter in this area because they lose sight of the theology and limit themselves to the anthropology involved...
In other words, whenever you hear someone saying, "But I'm only human," that's an anthropological argument. But, if you are a believer you are more than just a human. You are a saved human, and you have God's power for purity resident within you.
Some people say sex is like food. When you're hungry, you eat. No big deal. But Paul answered that in 1 Corinthians 6:13. The stomach may be for food, he said, "yet the body is not for immorality."
If your date tells you he washed his car and bought a new suit for this date and expects something more than a good night at the door, tell him, "You washed your car? Ok, I will help you put the dirt back on your car. And you bought a new suit? I'll go with you while you take it back." You are far too valuable to be used by undisciplined men for their gratification.
God created your body to be used for His glory, not simply to satisfy either your own or someone else's passion unless it is within the proper functioning of marriage...
See, God does not condemn sex outside of marriage because sex is bad. He condemns sex outside of marriage because it's so good when used properly within marriage.
Old God's Ultimate Weapon DVD Project Intro - Created Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 7:34:20 PM.
This video project was built using "Fashion Promo 2" Adobe After Effects Template created by Alex Zlatev who lives in the country of Bulgaria. Template created in Adobe After Effects CS3 by the author, but my project was created in AE CS4 and rendered in HD 1080P using Sony Vegas 9.0. I used prerendered optical flares from VideoCopilot.net. Sound effects also from Videocopilot. Music created from Pro Scores - also purchased from VideoCopilot.
Within this project is several other project templates featured in the video placeholders. For instance, The first project template in the first place holder is called "Urbanic" - created by "Elements" from Europe. it was created in AE CS3 on 13 October 09; but I used the template for a seperated project called "God Vs Satan" and it was built in AE CS4 and rendered in Sony Vegas 9.0. More information on the other other templates used within this project will be featured on my new website...
