1 Thessalonians 4:4-5

Have you ever been tempted to think the work of God in your life appears to be more destructive than constructive? In this plan, we will look at how God’s sanctifying work in our lives is a controlled and loving demolition of the old in order to make way for the new.

Whenever someone asks us if we believe in premarital sex we respond by saying “yes and no.” It’s a confusing answer at first, but it gives us an opportunity to make an important point. God affirms our sexuality as human beings and we ­can’t suddenly become asexual. For this reason, we believe in premarital sexuality. We are quick to follow up, however, by saying that having genital sex before marriage is clearly not in line with God’s principles. 

God molds us to be vessels of honor, carrying God’s glory in jars of clay, but many things can take a believer toward a vessel of dishonor. These things include alcohol and substance abuse, pornography and premarital sex, and cursing and defiled conversation. This devotional plan will help you, as a vessel of honor, carry the glory of God.

When your life is out of alignment with God’s Word, you will almost certainly experience painful consequences. Many have experienced the life-shattering results of making poor decisions about their sexual morality. Improper relationships, pornography, and sexual confusion are common in our world today, and they have destroyed many lives. Let best-selling author Tony Evans show you how to break free from sexual sin.
