Message Text : I Corinthians 7

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH ANYTHING THAT IS POTENTIALLY ADDICTING

When we say careful, we mean be wise.

Anything that is potentially addictive requires intentional discipline.

If it’s burned someone else’s house down it can burn yours down too.

Sex was designed by God to bring intimacy to fully committed monogamous til death do us part relationship.  The brain chemicals that are released are powerfully addictive. It’s designed by God to addict 2 people to each other forever.

When God works in your life He doesn’t make you full of yourself He makes you free of yourself.

[I Corinthians 6:12] 54AD

You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything.

[I Corinthians 7:1-4]

Now regarding the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to abstain from sexual relations. 2 But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband’s needs. 4 The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife.

[Matthew 5:27-28]

“You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
