BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
MESSAGE:
Setting boundaries when relating with the opposite sex is not old-fashioned. It is an important thing to do, especially when there is an intense attraction or infatuation for a member of the opposite sex. That intense attraction or infatuation can be a temptation from the devil to distract a fellow from achieving his or her goals and pull such a fellow away from God’s plan for his or her life.
Samson was a young man who was infatuated with Delilah. He could not control his lust, and it led to a disruption of God’s agenda for his life and God’s people (Judges 16:4-21). His relationship with Delilah crushed his future.
My dear child, do not think you are a Superhero when it comes to relating with the opposite sex. In 1 Corinthians 10:12, the Bible says, “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” You should set boundaries in your conversations with members of the opposite sex. You have no business going into a romantic relationship if you are not ready for marriage. Do not allow unholy communication or relationships to disrupt God’s plans for your life with members of the opposite sex.
