Today’s Morning Word
Good morning 🌅
This morning’s word from Scripture…📖
Proverbs 5:1, 3, and 5.
…
“My son, listen to the words I speak.
3. A prostitute is skilled in sweet words and flattering speech.
5. …She drags a person down toward the depths of hell.”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
This morning, I want to speak especially about the vulnerabilities of single men and a warning ⚠️.
…
Some people think,
“As long as I am satisfied right now, that is enough.”
…
But Proverbs 5 teaches us to look at what lies beyond that moment—and warns of its end (hell)…😨
…
Those who continue in sexual immorality (sexual relations outside marriage) and adultery…
even if they are Christians, face destruction…😵
…
Physical adultery is also spiritual unfaithfulness, and its end can bring ruin to a person's life…😱
…
Verses 7 and 8 warn us not to go near the prostitute's place‼️
(the entrance to hell).
It is a serious warning ⚠️.
…
In 1 Corinthians 6:15,
using our bodies for sexual immorality
is sternly rejected: “Never!”.
…
As long as we live, desires will keep following us…😥
…
Human beings live with desire 😢.
…
“So I say, walk by the Spirit,
and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”
…
Galatians 5:16
…
Through Jesus, we have been rescued from destruction.
…
1 Corinthians 6:20.
“…Therefore glorify God with your body.”
…
Desire follows us throughout our lives❗️
A wise person is one who obeys the Word of God❗️
Shalom 😄
