LAST WEEK
Our small groups have started a two-week series on sex, and in our first lesson, we examined the Apostle Paul’s wise words in 1 Corinthians 6:12-20.
This passage contains one of the most direct, powerful statements about why God wants us to pursue his plan for sex. Clearly, any sin separates us from God-yet the Apostle Paul tells us in these verses that sexual sin has a particularly significant impact because it affects our bodies and because the Holy Spirit inhabits our bodies if we’re followers of Jesus.
Paul’s solution to sexual temptation is simple: Run. Don’t argue or negotiate or justify or consider or examine or discuss or ponder. Just run. Sometimes this means a literal fleeing-leaving a place or a person that creates temptations. Other times it means refocusing our thoughts away from temptation and toward Christ-like things.
We encouraged our teenagers to run away from sexual sin and temptation, and to recognize that following God’s plan requires regular, daily choices-it isn’t just a one-time decision.
Sex can be a challenging topic for a conversation with junior highers. (How’s that for an understatement?) In spite of the awkwardness, it can be a worthwhile conversation.
- What words best define our culture’s attitude toward sex and sexual activity?
- Why do you think God views the topic differently?
- Why does the Apostle Paul say we ought to run away from sexual sin or the temptation to sin in that area?
Praying for you and your family this week!
