The Problem of Sexual Sin
We very easily compartmentalize our physical life from our spiritual life. We convince ourselves that physical actions have no real affect on our spirituality. When it comes to sex and sexuality, we have a very permissive attitude, acting as if what we do with our bodies and our minds has no real consequence, that it's okay "as long as it's not hurting anyone" or "if it makes me happy." But this is not the case, and understanding the big picture of the beauty and glory of sex, marriage, and sexual union is the only thing that will help us understand the real problem of sexual sin. ABOUT THIS 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES: Life is messy. Church life is messy. Every church has problems, because every church is made up of people. But God has called His people to come together to live life alongside each other and to encourage and carry each other, even amid difficult and challenging circumstances. The Apostle Paul planted a church in Corinth, Greece, and it very quickly became a church that dealt with many problems. They lacked maturity and wisdom, despite being a very gifted church. 1 Corinthians is a fatherly challenge and guide to them to help them get back on track and grow in the wisdom they need.
