When a man or woman commits adultery, what kind of a sin do they commit? First of all, they sin against themselves. First Corinthians 6:18 says, “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.”
That means there is something absolutely unique about the sin of immorality. There is no sin more harmful spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally than the sin of adultery.
Monogamous marriage, one man for one woman, was given by God for the protection and development of the deepest psychological, physical, and spiritual needs of humanity. Marital fidelity is the glue that holds the family together, and the family is the core of society. Now you can understand why Satan has leveled his fiery darts against the home through sexual immorality.
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.’”
