Today's Scripture *July 23, 2008*
1 Thessalonians 4: 4-5
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
Paul said that lustful passions should not control God's people.
Some argue that if they've already sinned by having lustful thoughts, they might as well go ahead with lustful actions too.
Acting out sinful desires is harmful in several ways :
(1) It causes people to excuse sin rather than to stop sinning;
(2) It destroys marriages;
(3) It is deliberate rebellion against God's Word; and
(4) It always hurts someone else in addition to the sinner.
Sinful action is more dangerous than sinful desire, so desires should not be acted out.
Nevertheless, sinful desire is just as damaging to righteousness.
Left unchecked, wrong desires will result in wrong actions and will turn people away from God.
Father God, may we keep our desires in line with Your Word and Your will for us.
May we honor You with our minds as well as our bodies.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless you!
