The context of this verse is the temptation and consequences of adultery. The principle here can and should be applied to every type of sexual sin. The only way to avoid falling into sexual sin is to stay as far away from the temptation as possible.
Solomon is warning his son, "Don't walk past her house! Stay off her street!" Every day we need to guard our lives in this area. We need to guard our tv and internet time. Even so-called "soft-porn" will become a crack in the door of your heart. Guard your conversations at work, the gym, and even at church.
Commit the following Scripture to memory:
I will lead a life of integrity
in my own home.
3 I will refuse to look at
anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all who deal crookedly;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will reject perverse ideas
and stay away from every evil. (Psalm 101:2-4, NLT)
in my own home.
3 I will refuse to look at
anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all who deal crookedly;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will reject perverse ideas
and stay away from every evil. (Psalm 101:2-4, NLT)

ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for your family.
Thank you again Pastor Kendall, we REALLY need the prayers or our family is over and gone which is exactly what the enemy wants for Gods people. I hope to be able to return to the church soon but I am still have some medical issues which prevents me and my daughter from getting there just yet so I was very interested in watching the sermons on adultery and what God's word says about that and hopefully it will be heard and the family saved! Have a great week!
