Moral Impurity - A Sin Against Society
August 20, 2017
Did you know that God built the home before He instituted government and before He built the church? His plan was, and still is, one man for one woman until death do them part. But the devil has aimed the artillery of hell against the moral fiber of the family because he knows that if he can hurt us at home, he can hurt us all over.
You see, Satan wants to remove God out of the equation of family unity. His plan has always been to deny God. Once he has denied God, he then wants to make man a mere animal. You deny God, you debase man, then it follows, you deny morals.
And when you remove the standards of morality, you destroy the home. After you destroy the home, you dominate society. And Satan is well on his way. Nothing tears at the fabric of society more than moral impurity.
We need to take seriously what Jesus said, “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, that whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” (Matthew 5:27-28).

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
