God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. 4 Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor—5 not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 NLT
So many people get themselves into trouble because that can’t control this one urge. I have seen families split apart, plans and dreams destroyed, and relationships forever damaged because people let sex get the best of them.
Think of a beautiful river. A river brings life. People build their houses near it. A river brings commerce and profit. A riverside property is often valued very highly. So a river is a beautiful, wonderful thing. And it stays beautiful as long as it stays within its banks. But a river that gets outside of its banks can sweep your home away in a few minutes. What was beautiful is now destructive.
Sex is like that. It is created by God to be a wonderful thing. And it is wonderful as long as it stays within its God given boundaries. Once you get outside of those, your life can get swept away in a hurry.
