Adultery
Where do you stand on the topic of adultery?

Welcome to Page 2 on our discussion on the topic of adultery. 

A woman recently came to my office for counseling and asked; "Does the Scripture always demand that I obey my husband in all things?"  When we got down to specifics, she told me her husband would bring home his young secretary and demand his wife would get into bed with them and obey everything she was told to do!  :After all, The Bible says you have to obey me!"

Try to imagine her emotions when she was informed that she did not have to obey her husband in his sin by her Pastor.  By the way, I was the third Pastor she had visited in a month, the other two Pastors, agreed with her husband's views and sent her home to him and his secretary.

Regardless of what society views as proper sexual behavior in and out of marriage, GOD'S Word is the one and only authentic blueprint.  To the point - If you are married and 'playing the field',
or you are involved in dishonoring practices with your mate and or others in your marriage bed, you are living in sin. 

What can you expect from GOD?  You say; "GOD is love, HE will wink at my sin."  The fact is, GOD is love, and HIS judgment is filtered through HIS love, and yet, GOD is just as well.

Galatians 6:17, once again quoting the AMP.

Galatians 6:17


Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; GOD will not allow HIMSELF to be sneered at (scored, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by HIS precepts being set aside.)  (He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude GOD.)  For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.  (AMP)


If you are single and experimenting sexually, or living with someone of the opposite sex who you are not married to, whether or not you plan to eventually marry them, you are living in sin.  Remember, marriage is honorable and the marriage bed is to remain pure.  

If you have been part of the PraiseNation Family of Believers for any length of time, you know we are firm believers in GOD'S grace.  We staunchly disagree with Legalism, (the honoring of the teachings of the O.T. Laws above the N.T.) in order to be right before GOD..  Grace is above the Law, although at the same time, grace is not a license to sin. 

 

Romans 6:1-2 


"WHAT SHALL we say [to all this]?  Are we to remain in sin in order that GOD'S grace (favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow? Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?"  (AMP)

 


Do you find yourself trapped in adultery or immorality as described above?  You may not know how it came to pass, for it can be far too easy to get yourself trapped into a situation that you don't even know how you got there.  Your present difficulty is what can you do,  or what are you willing to do about it.  You are not in an impossible situation, your actions depend upon your will and desire to have help from the LORD. 

Luke 1-37


"For with GOD nothing is ever impossible and no word from GOD shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment."  (AMP)

Now to as those choices you can make, take a look below:

 

  1. Do nothing.

  2. Stay the way things are presently.

  3. Attend your own marriage ceremony.

  4. Become separated from the one you are living with.

  5. Join a Convent!  :)

 

Whatever you think after reading this Article, I want to encourage you to follow one of the suggested above choices, even the funny one (#5)!  Just make a decision!  Not making a decision is not credible and is just hiding from what your heart is telling you.

You will have all the assistance you need from the LORD.  Don't be embarrassed to ask HIM for help in prayer.
