Stop Hurting Yourself - 1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV)

Scripture of the Day
1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV)
“Stop Hurting Yourself”

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
-----------------------------------------
The definition of for-ni-ca-tion is: voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other.  In other words, fornication is something a person chooses in the heart . . . long before the act!  Although you may fall in love with someone or something . . . you do not simply fall into fornication!  Every other sin that we choose is against someone else, but the sin of fornication is against our own body! Which means we are hurting ourselves.  It still effect others, but the pain and shame is what we do to ourselves.

Many of us know that GOD is the “I AM” and that JESUS is the only Way, Truth and Life . . . but for whatever reason . . . we follow the gods of the sun, moon, birds, handkerchief . . . and any other thing that we choose to make us happy!  Which means we voluntarily give ourselves to these idols or false gods.  Guess what!  When we do that, we are fornicating!  You may fall in love with the ways of the “stars”, but you have to choose to worship them! Which means we are hurting ourselves.

If you already belong to the LORD, stay with HIM!  The grass is not greener on the other side!  If JESUS is not the lover of your soul . . . come on over . . . and find rest for your soul!
