My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. For a prostitute is a deep pit; an adulteress is a narrow well. She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind. (Proverbs 23:26-28 ESV)

Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. (1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 ESV)

In a society enamored with sexual innuendoes, promiscuous lifestyles, homosexual agendas, pornographic images, and perverted pleasures, the Scriptures remind us of the destructive and deadly ways of sexual immorality. The believer must be vigilant to obstain from sexual immorality (any form of sexual pursuits or practices outside the marital covenant) while pursuing the will of God: holiness, honor, and sanctification. God desires us to experience supreme pleasure, which is only discovered and enjoyed in Him, by observing His ways. The above texts remind us and instruct us to pursue holiness and purity, a needed reminder and word of instruction in a world opposed to His perfect ways. May the God of all grace and mercy enable us to remain pure and holy while being surrounded by a society that praises sexual immorality.
