You Are God's Temple: Devotions From Time of GraceVoorbeeld

Honor God With Your Sexuality: Our love makes it right Spiritually weak people easily confuse lust with true love. Feeling a powerful attraction to someone else when you’re married, or to someone else who’s married, is a dangerous flirtation, not real love. People today seem to think that “being in love” justifies any and every action--cohabitation, dating married people, whatever. That powerful attraction must be obeyed and makes the sinful action “right.” God calls it playing with fire. “Can a man scoop fire into his lap without being burned? Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished” (Proverbs 6:27-29). People caught up in the rush of sinful sexual attraction often suffer from cessation of brain function. That’s where you come in. Be a true friend. Tell them the truth. Help the people in your world come to respect marriage again.
