Today we have a spicy topic… with chat of all things sex, marriage, and sexual impurity! If you’ve ever wondered what God thinks about your sexuality, look no further. In this episode, I go through how God directly tells us that we are to use our sexuality to honour Him. That means that sex is firmly and only for the boundaries of marriage. This can be difficult for our culture today. Join me as I grapple with it. You DO NOT want to miss this episode!
Bible verses I referenced:
‘For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.’ 1 Corinthians 7:4.
‘Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.’ 1 Corinthians 6:18.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.“ Matthew 5:27-29.
‘Stay away from every kind of evil.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:22.
‘God wants you to be holy and completely free from sexual immorality.’ 1 Thessalonians 4:3.

There is NEVER any shame in coming clean. Accountability is key to breaking this struggle. Be brave and open up to a Christian that you can trust who can keep you accountable. You are forgiven and cleansed in Jesus even if you have fallen. Repent and turn back to Him!
