- America stands at a crossroads.

- 00:00:57.180 --> 00:00:59.582

- Join us in this critical hour by giving
- 00:01:16.499 --> 00:01:18.601
- Toward the in god we trust matching challenge today.
- 00:01:18.601 --> 00:01:23.039
- (bright music)
- 00:01:23.039 --> 00:01:30.580
- Some time ago,
- 00:01:30.947 --> 00:01:32.348
- A man from another church came to visit with me
- 00:01:32.348 --> 00:01:35.818
- And to confess that he was involved
- 00:01:35.818 --> 00:01:37.954
- In an adulterous relationship.
- 00:01:37.954 --> 00:01:41.424
- And trying to be pastoral and empathetic,
- 00:01:41.424 --> 00:01:44.661
- I thought i could maybe vocalize what he was feeling.
- 00:01:44.661 --> 00:01:48.064
- I said, "i'm sure you're overwhelmed by guilt and grief,
- 00:01:48.064 --> 00:01:51.935
- And you've probably never been more miserable in your life
- 00:01:51.935 --> 00:01:55.305
- Than you are right now,
- 00:01:55.305 --> 00:01:56.272
- But there is a way out."
- 00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:58.675
- And he looked at me with a perplexed look and said,
- 00:01:58.675 --> 00:02:01.244
- "no, actually i'm happier than i've ever been before."
- 00:02:01.244 --> 00:02:04.881
- I learned right then,
- 00:02:05.381 --> 00:02:06.849
- Don't try to imagine what other people are feeling.
- 00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:10.520
- The truth is,
- 00:02:10.887 --> 00:02:12.322
- And you don't hear this often from us preacher types,
- 00:02:12.322 --> 00:02:14.123
- The truth is sin is very pleasurable.
- 00:02:14.123 --> 00:02:19.395
- It's enticing. it's alluring.
- 00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:21.464
- If it wasn't, nobody would sin.
- 00:02:21.464 --> 00:02:23.666
- Sin is pleasurable,
- 00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:25.435
- Especially sexual sin for a season.
- 00:02:25.435 --> 00:02:30.273
- For a season.
- 00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:31.708
- Solomon who had his own share of illicit relationships
- 00:02:31.708 --> 00:02:35.111
- Wrote in proverbs 9:17,
- 00:02:35.111 --> 00:02:36.879
- "stolen water is sweet
- 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.515
- And bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
- 00:02:39.515 --> 00:02:43.219
- But then he goes on to saying verse 18,
- 00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:45.188
- "what was sweet can become sour,
- 00:02:45.188 --> 00:02:49.225
- What was delicious decays leading to death."
- 00:02:49.225 --> 00:02:53.429
- Or listen to solomon's words again in proverbs 5:3-4,
- 00:02:53.429 --> 00:02:58.768
- "for the lips of an adulterous drip honey
- 00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:01.204
- And smoother than oil is her speech,
- 00:03:01.204 --> 00:03:04.107
- But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
- 00:03:04.107 --> 00:03:07.944
- Sharp as a two-edged sword."
- 00:03:07.944 --> 00:03:11.180
- Sin is pleasurable but only for a season.
- 00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:15.084
- And perhaps no sin leaves a wake of destruction behind it,
- 00:03:15.084 --> 00:03:20.423
- Like the sin we're talking about today.
- 00:03:21.257 --> 00:03:23.693
- It affects not only those involved but the innocent parties,
- 00:03:23.693 --> 00:03:26.863
- It can affect generations to come,
- 00:03:26.863 --> 00:03:29.465
- Which is why one of the top 10
- 00:03:29.465 --> 00:03:31.734
- On god's list of commandments
- 00:03:31.734 --> 00:03:34.370
- Is the seventh commandment found in exodus 20:14,
- 00:03:34.370 --> 00:03:39.142
- You shall not commit adultery.
- 00:03:39.142 --> 00:03:41.778
- Now, what i want to do today is four things.
- 00:03:41.778 --> 00:03:44.213
- I want us to talk about the meaning of adultery.
- 00:03:44.213 --> 00:03:47.216
- We're going to look at the progression of adultery,
- 00:03:47.216 --> 00:03:49.452
- How it happens.
- 00:03:49.452 --> 00:03:50.953
- Third, we're going to look at some biblical steps
- 00:03:50.953 --> 00:03:53.523
- For the avoidance of adultery.
- 00:03:53.523 --> 00:03:55.792
- And finally, i want to end on a note of hope
- 00:03:55.792 --> 00:03:58.328
- Talking about the aftermath of adultery.
- 00:03:58.328 --> 00:04:01.497
- First of all, let's talk about why it is
- 00:04:01.497 --> 00:04:04.167
- That god talks about adultery
- 00:04:04.167 --> 00:04:05.868
- And what is it he's exactly talking about.
- 00:04:05.868 --> 00:04:08.471
- And to do this, we need to pull back and get a picture,
- 00:04:08.471 --> 00:04:12.241
- An overview of the subject of sex.
- 00:04:12.241 --> 00:04:15.511
- You know, the fact is contrary to what most people think,
- 00:04:15.511 --> 00:04:18.748
- God is very pro-sex.
- 00:04:18.748 --> 00:04:20.950
- Did you know that?
- 00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:22.518
- He is pro-sex.
- 00:04:22.518 --> 00:04:24.354
- The reason i know that
- 00:04:24.354 --> 00:04:25.655
- Is because he dreamed up the idea of sex.
- 00:04:25.655 --> 00:04:28.524
- Have you ever really thought about that?
- 00:04:28.524 --> 00:04:30.526
- God in heaven thinking up the whole sexual act,
- 00:04:30.526 --> 00:04:34.664
- Designing the equipment we need to enjoy that act.
- 00:04:34.664 --> 00:04:39.035
- It was all god's idea.
- 00:04:39.035 --> 00:04:41.604
- And contrary to what the puritans taught,
- 00:04:41.604 --> 00:04:44.273
- Sex was not primarily given by god for procreation.
- 00:04:44.273 --> 00:04:48.411
- It was given for pleasure.
- 00:04:48.411 --> 00:04:50.380
- The first sex act in the bible
- 00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:51.881
- Was between a man and a woman who were married.
- 00:04:51.881 --> 00:04:55.151
- There is no hint that there was any child
- 00:04:55.151 --> 00:04:57.220
- That came from that first act.
- 00:04:57.220 --> 00:04:59.055
- It was given to seal the emotional, physical,
- 00:04:59.055 --> 00:05:02.091
- And spiritual unity of two people.
- 00:05:02.091 --> 00:05:05.128
- It's amazing that there are really very few
- 00:05:05.128 --> 00:05:07.196
- Instructions in the bible about sex.
- 00:05:07.196 --> 00:05:10.166
- Basically, god said,
- 00:05:10.166 --> 00:05:12.335
- "enjoy it all you want and all you can.
- 00:05:12.335 --> 00:05:15.104
- I'm only going to give you one restriction for sex,
- 00:05:15.104 --> 00:05:18.708
- And that is it needs to be within a marriage relationship."
- 00:05:18.708 --> 00:05:24.046
- That's really the only instruction and restriction.
- 00:05:25.081 --> 00:05:26.682
- It needs to be within marriage.
- 00:05:26.682 --> 00:05:29.218
- But that says a lot to us today.
- 00:05:29.218 --> 00:05:31.120
- Sex is not for single people.
- 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.389
- For single people to have sex before marriage
- 00:05:33.389 --> 00:05:35.958
- Is what the bible calls fornication.
- 00:05:35.958 --> 00:05:39.162
- Sex is not for people of the same sex.
- 00:05:39.162 --> 00:05:43.099
- Oh, i know some people say, "well, what if they're married?"
- 00:05:43.099 --> 00:05:45.902
- Trust me, they're not married.
- 00:05:45.902 --> 00:05:48.004
- No gay person has ever been married.
- 00:05:48.004 --> 00:05:50.139
- It's impossible.
- 00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:51.407
- God has defined marriage,
- 00:05:51.407 --> 00:05:53.109
- Jesus did in matthew 19,
- 00:05:53.109 --> 00:05:55.244
- As between one man and one woman.
- 00:05:55.244 --> 00:05:58.147
- That's the only kind of marriage god recognizes.
- 00:05:58.147 --> 00:06:01.384
- So let's not try to be smarter than god about that.
- 00:06:01.384 --> 00:06:05.121
- For two people of the same sex to have sex is immorality,
- 00:06:06.255 --> 00:06:09.425
- But a married person who has sex outside the marriage,
- 00:06:09.425 --> 00:06:14.697
- That is what adultery is,
- 00:06:15.264 --> 00:06:16.933
- And god had a very direct word
- 00:06:16.933 --> 00:06:18.434
- About his attitude toward adultery
- 00:06:18.434 --> 00:06:20.870
- Found in malachi 2:13-14.
- 00:06:20.870 --> 00:06:24.240
- The israelites were whining
- 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.142
- About why god didn't answer their prayers.
- 00:06:26.142 --> 00:06:28.911
- And so god said, "you want to know the reason?
- 00:06:28.911 --> 00:06:30.613
- Here it is.
- 00:06:30.613 --> 00:06:31.914
- You cover the altar of the lord with tears,
- 00:06:31.914 --> 00:06:34.183
- With weeping, with groaning
- 00:06:34.183 --> 00:06:35.718
- Because he no longer regards the offering
- 00:06:35.718 --> 00:06:38.154
- Or accepts it with favor from your hand.
- 00:06:38.154 --> 00:06:40.857
- Yet you say, 'for what reason?
- 00:06:40.857 --> 00:06:42.925
- Why is god angry?'
- 00:06:42.925 --> 00:06:44.594
- Because the lord has been a witness between you
- 00:06:44.594 --> 00:06:47.096
- And the wife of your youth
- 00:06:47.096 --> 00:06:50.032
- Against whom you have dealt treacherously
- 00:06:50.032 --> 00:06:52.969
- Though she is your companion and your wife by covenant."
- 00:06:52.969 --> 00:06:56.739
- Adultery is to break a covenant,
- 00:06:56.739 --> 00:06:58.875
- A promise you've made to your wife or to your husband,
- 00:06:58.875 --> 00:07:02.845
- And more importantly to god himself.
- 00:07:02.845 --> 00:07:05.214
- And when you commit adultery,
- 00:07:05.214 --> 00:07:07.016
- You are breaking that covenant.
- 00:07:07.016 --> 00:07:09.585
- That's why god says you are not to commit adultery.
- 00:07:09.585 --> 00:07:13.890
- A further explanation of adultery
- 00:07:13.890 --> 00:07:15.491
- Is found in 1 corinthians 7:2.
- 00:07:15.491 --> 00:07:18.394
- Paul writes, "because of immoralities,
- 00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:21.163
- Each man is to have," underline that,
- 00:07:21.163 --> 00:07:24.300
- "his own wife,
- 00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:25.701
- And each woman is to have,"
- 00:07:25.701 --> 00:07:27.436
- Underline it again, "her own husband."
- 00:07:27.436 --> 00:07:29.672
- That greek word have, echo, in non-biblical literature
- 00:07:29.672 --> 00:07:33.676
- Was used in greek to refer to have somebody sexually.
- 00:07:33.676 --> 00:07:38.948
- The idea is to each man is to have his own wife,
- 00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:42.985
- Each woman her own husband,
- 00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:45.688
- Not somebody else's wife or somebody else's husband.
- 00:07:45.688 --> 00:07:49.725
- You know, to go outside of marriage
- 00:07:49.725 --> 00:07:52.361
- And have sex with somebody else,
- 00:07:52.361 --> 00:07:54.897
- The bible says is like a rich man
- 00:07:54.897 --> 00:07:58.334
- Who steals from a poor man,
- 00:07:58.334 --> 00:08:00.636
- Not because he needs it,
- 00:08:00.636 --> 00:08:02.004
- But just for the thrill of it.
- 00:08:02.004 --> 00:08:03.773
- If you have your own mate, you don't need another mate.
- 00:08:03.773 --> 00:08:06.976
- By the way, that's exactly the metaphor
- 00:08:06.976 --> 00:08:09.111
- That nathan the prophet used
- 00:08:09.111 --> 00:08:11.080
- When he accused david of of adultery.
- 00:08:11.080 --> 00:08:14.684
- He used the story of a rich man who had plenty of lambs,
- 00:08:14.684 --> 00:08:18.955
- But he decided to steal the lamb,
- 00:08:18.955 --> 00:08:21.290
- The little ewe lamb of a poor man,
- 00:08:21.290 --> 00:08:24.026
- And god condemned him for that.
- 00:08:24.026 --> 00:08:26.696
- That's what it is to have sex with somebody
- 00:08:26.696 --> 00:08:29.265
- Who is not our mate.
- 00:08:29.265 --> 00:08:30.900
- Well, how does it happen?
- 00:08:30.900 --> 00:08:32.401
- How does adultery happen?
- 00:08:32.401 --> 00:08:33.703
- It doesn't just come out of nowhere.
- 00:08:33.703 --> 00:08:36.539
- The progression of adultery,
- 00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:38.307
- And for that matter, every sin,
- 00:08:38.307 --> 00:08:40.176
- Is found in james 1 beginning with verse 13.
- 00:08:40.176 --> 00:08:44.513
- Adultery, first of all, begins in the mind.
- 00:08:44.513 --> 00:08:49.752
- Mental adultery.
- 00:08:50.119 --> 00:08:51.087
- Look at verse 13 of james 1.
- 00:08:51.087 --> 00:08:53.189
- "let no one say he is tempted, i'm being tempted by god;
- 00:08:53.189 --> 00:08:58.494
- For god cannot be tempted by evil
- 00:08:59.228 --> 00:09:00.896
- And he himself does not tempt anyone."
- 00:09:00.896 --> 00:09:03.265
- James was saying there are people
- 00:09:03.265 --> 00:09:04.900
- Who right before they plunge into temptation, they said,
- 00:09:04.900 --> 00:09:07.470
- "well, this must be god's will
- 00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:08.938
- Because he allowed it."
- 00:09:08.938 --> 00:09:10.706
- No, don't let anybody say that.
- 00:09:10.706 --> 00:09:13.009
- God does not tempt any of us.
- 00:09:13.009 --> 00:09:16.145
- Would you say that with me?
- 00:09:16.145 --> 00:09:17.680
- God does not tempt any of us.
- 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:21.150
- Satan is the one who tempts us to destroy our faith.
- 00:09:21.150 --> 00:09:25.187
- God tests us to strengthen our faith.
- 00:09:25.187 --> 00:09:28.924
- Temptation is an enticement to evil.
- 00:09:29.725 --> 00:09:32.561
- Testing is an enticement to good.
- 00:09:32.561 --> 00:09:35.765
- God doesn't tempt us.
- 00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:36.799
- Satan does to destroy us.
- 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.001
- So then how does sin come into our life
- 00:09:39.001 --> 00:09:41.070
- If god's not doing the tempting?
- 00:09:41.070 --> 00:09:43.472
- Look at the equation for sin in verse 14.
- 00:09:43.472 --> 00:09:46.208
- "but each person is tempted
- 00:09:46.208 --> 00:09:48.844
- When he is carried away
- 00:09:48.844 --> 00:09:51.480
- And enticed by his own lust."
- 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.450
- That word translated carried away, helkomai,
- 00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:57.453
- Means to be drawn with an inward power.
- 00:09:57.453 --> 00:10:01.223
- The first ingredient of sin
- 00:10:01.223 --> 00:10:03.626
- Is that strong inward draw we all are born with toward it.
- 00:10:03.626 --> 00:10:08.597
- But then he said each man is carried away and enticed.
- 00:10:08.597 --> 00:10:12.501
- That greek word enticed is a fishing term.
- 00:10:12.501 --> 00:10:15.604
- It means to hook.
- 00:10:15.604 --> 00:10:17.440
- It's the process by which a fisherman catches a fish.
- 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.944
- The fish is drawn by its hunger, it's inward power.
- 00:10:21.944 --> 00:10:25.247
- The fisherman knows if he's good
- 00:10:25.247 --> 00:10:26.849
- Exactly when to drop the bait and what kind of bait to use.
- 00:10:26.849 --> 00:10:31.120
- And that fish so blinded by its inward hunger
- 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.890
- Bites at that bait
- 00:10:34.890 --> 00:10:36.692
- Not knowing there's a hook in it that will destroy it.
- 00:10:36.692 --> 00:10:39.462
- And that's how it works with us.
- 00:10:39.462 --> 00:10:41.664
- It's our own inward power drive towards sin
- 00:10:41.664 --> 00:10:45.401
- Coupled with an external temptation.
- 00:10:45.401 --> 00:10:48.137
- Satan is the master fisherman.
- 00:10:48.137 --> 00:10:50.539
- He knows exactly what bait to use and when to use it.
- 00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:54.477
- And when inward lust meets outward temptation,
- 00:10:54.477 --> 00:10:58.080
- The result is sin.
- 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.616
- By the way, james is using a sexual metaphor here.
- 00:11:00.616 --> 00:11:04.787
- He's saying just like the egg and the sperm
- 00:11:04.787 --> 00:11:07.656
- Come together at just the right time to produce life,
- 00:11:07.656 --> 00:11:11.794
- So lust and temptation come exactly together
- 00:11:11.794 --> 00:11:15.331
- At the wrong time to produce death.
- 00:11:15.331 --> 00:11:19.001
- That's what he's talking about here, that inward lust.
- 00:11:19.001 --> 00:11:23.005
- In matthew 5:28, jesus said,
- 00:11:23.005 --> 00:11:25.007
- "but i say to you that everybody who looks at a woman
- 00:11:25.007 --> 00:11:27.810
- With lust for her
- 00:11:27.810 --> 00:11:29.478
- Has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
- 00:11:29.478 --> 00:11:33.349
- What does he mean by that?
- 00:11:33.349 --> 00:11:34.583
- He's telling us something very important.
- 00:11:34.583 --> 00:11:37.119
- He's saying if you think about something long enough,
- 00:11:37.119 --> 00:11:40.022
- You'll end up doing it.
- 00:11:40.022 --> 00:11:41.724
- And that's what lust is.
- 00:11:41.724 --> 00:11:42.958
- It's not just glancing at somebody.
- 00:11:42.958 --> 00:11:45.461
- It is staring at somebody.
- 00:11:45.461 --> 00:11:47.596
- It involves a mental undressing of that person,
- 00:11:47.596 --> 00:11:49.899
- An imaginary sexual encounter with that person.
- 00:11:49.899 --> 00:11:53.035
- And when you nurse that experience in your mind
- 00:11:53.035 --> 00:11:55.638
- Over and over again,
- 00:11:55.638 --> 00:11:57.373
- We're all programmed in such a way
- 00:11:57.373 --> 00:11:59.074
- That what we think about often enough we end up doing.
- 00:11:59.074 --> 00:12:02.411
- And that leads to the next step
- 00:12:02.411 --> 00:12:03.879
- In the progression of adultery.
- 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.648
- It goes from mental adultery to physical adultery.
- 00:12:05.648 --> 00:12:09.084
- Verse 15, "then when lust has conceived,"
- 00:12:09.084 --> 00:12:12.288
- There's that analogy, that metaphor,
- 00:12:12.288 --> 00:12:14.156
- "it is conceived, it gives birth,
- 00:12:14.156 --> 00:12:17.226
- Not to life but to sin.
- 00:12:17.226 --> 00:12:19.128
- And when sin is accomplished, that is fully developed,
- 00:12:19.128 --> 00:12:23.132
- It brings forth death."
- 00:12:23.132 --> 00:12:25.868
- God says those who commit adultery commit villainy.
- 00:12:25.868 --> 00:12:30.372
- In other words, it's something wicked,
- 00:12:30.372 --> 00:12:32.541
- Even something criminal.
- 00:12:32.541 --> 00:12:34.910
- Have you heard that,
- 00:12:34.910 --> 00:12:36.045
- "oh, there's nothing wrong with sex.
- 00:12:36.045 --> 00:12:37.513
- It's a victimless crime."
- 00:12:37.513 --> 00:12:40.082
- Not at all.
- 00:12:40.082 --> 00:12:41.350
- There are many victims, especially in adultery.
- 00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:44.520
- And look at the victims that the bible talks about.
- 00:12:44.520 --> 00:12:47.456
- Adultery is first of all a crime against our own mate.
- 00:12:47.456 --> 00:12:52.261
- When we give to somebody else outside the marriage,
- 00:12:52.261 --> 00:12:55.397
- What belongs to our mate?
- 00:12:55.397 --> 00:12:56.332
- It's stealing from them.
- 00:12:56.332 --> 00:12:58.834
- My friend derek jeter has written about that.
- 00:12:58.834 --> 00:13:01.537
- He says, "sexual intercourse
- 00:13:01.537 --> 00:13:03.739
- Is not merely the joining of two bodies
- 00:13:03.739 --> 00:13:06.508
- For the duration of the sex act.
- 00:13:06.508 --> 00:13:08.611
- It entails the whole person, body, soul, and spirit.
- 00:13:08.611 --> 00:13:12.348
- It's an investment of emotions and wills.
- 00:13:12.348 --> 00:13:15.618
- Sex is the most intimate experience
- 00:13:15.618 --> 00:13:18.020
- Two people can engage in with one another.
- 00:13:18.020 --> 00:13:21.290
- And that way," he says,
- 00:13:21.290 --> 00:13:22.258
- "adultery is a form of theft,
- 00:13:22.258 --> 00:13:24.894
- Stealing from their spouses
- 00:13:24.894 --> 00:13:27.596
- To whom a spouse's body belongs."
- 00:13:27.596 --> 00:13:30.332
- Not only is it a crime against our mate,
- 00:13:30.332 --> 00:13:33.502
- Adultery is a crime against our god.
- 00:13:33.502 --> 00:13:36.772
- Remember when joseph was alone with potiphar's wife
- 00:13:36.772 --> 00:13:41.010
- And mrs. potiphar started to make the moves on him?
- 00:13:41.010 --> 00:13:44.179
- What was his response?
- 00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:46.248
- He said, "how could i do such an evil thing
- 00:13:46.248 --> 00:13:49.485
- And sin against god?
- 00:13:49.485 --> 00:13:52.488
- If he had succumbed to that temptation,
- 00:13:53.355 --> 00:13:55.124
- It would've been a sin against mrs. potiphar
- 00:13:55.124 --> 00:13:57.159
- Or against potiphar himself,
- 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.061
- But ultimately he said it would be a sin against god.
- 00:13:59.061 --> 00:14:03.165
- David said after he confessed to sin with bathsheba,
- 00:14:03.165 --> 00:14:07.369
- Psalm 51:4, "against you, god, and you only have i sinned."
- 00:14:07.369 --> 00:14:12.975
- Now, he wasn't discounting the fact
- 00:14:13.742 --> 00:14:15.344
- He had sinned against bathsheba and uriah,
- 00:14:15.344 --> 00:14:18.080
- But again, all sin is ultimately against god.
- 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.318
- In 1 corinthians 6:19-20,
- 00:14:22.318 --> 00:14:24.520
- Paul drives that point home when he says,
- 00:14:24.520 --> 00:14:26.722
- "do you not know that your body
- 00:14:26.722 --> 00:14:29.091
- Is a temple of the holy spirit
- 00:14:29.091 --> 00:14:31.193
- Who is in you whom you had from god
- 00:14:31.193 --> 00:14:33.595
- And that you are not your own,
- 00:14:33.595 --> 00:14:35.731
- For you have been bought with a price,
- 00:14:35.731 --> 00:14:37.967
- Therefore glorify god in your body."
- 00:14:37.967 --> 00:14:41.270
- Think about this.
- 00:14:41.270 --> 00:14:42.805
- If you're a christian indwelt by the holy spirit of god,
- 00:14:42.805 --> 00:14:45.708
- When you have sex with somebody who is not your mate,
- 00:14:45.708 --> 00:14:49.611
- You are inviting the holy spirit of god
- 00:14:50.446 --> 00:14:53.382
- To participate in that sin with you
- 00:14:53.382 --> 00:14:55.317
- Because you're indwelt with the holy spirit.
- 00:14:55.317 --> 00:14:57.619
- Should the holy spirit participate
- 00:14:57.619 --> 00:14:59.188
- In adultery or immorality?
- 00:14:59.188 --> 00:15:01.857
- Paul said in verse 15, "me genoito."
- 00:15:01.857 --> 00:15:04.893
- May it never be.
- 00:15:04.893 --> 00:15:06.495
- Such a thought is unthinkable.
- 00:15:06.495 --> 00:15:08.797
- And yet that's what we do when we sin.
- 00:15:08.797 --> 00:15:11.734
- And finally, adultery is a crime against ourselves.
- 00:15:11.734 --> 00:15:17.006
- We think we're the victor
- 00:15:17.573 --> 00:15:19.174
- If we're involved in an adulterous relationship,
- 00:15:19.174 --> 00:15:22.678
- But we are a victim.
- 00:15:22.678 --> 00:15:24.446
- Listen to verse 18 of 1 corinthians 6,
- 00:15:24.446 --> 00:15:27.049
- "flee immorality for every other sin that a man commits
- 00:15:27.049 --> 00:15:32.321
- Is outside the body,
- 00:15:32.788 --> 00:15:34.223
- But the immoral man sins against his own body."
- 00:15:34.223 --> 00:15:39.495
- What does that mean?
- 00:15:39.962 --> 00:15:41.363
- What sins are you sinning against your own body?
- 00:15:41.363 --> 00:15:43.465
- Again, my friend derek jeter gives some great insight.
- 00:15:43.465 --> 00:15:46.468
- He said, "no sin is as directly destructive to the sinner
- 00:15:46.468 --> 00:15:51.040
- As is the sin of sexual immorality.
- 00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:54.009
- It elicit sexual contact,
- 00:15:54.009 --> 00:15:55.944
- Involves the body as the instrument of sin,
- 00:15:55.944 --> 00:15:59.515
- And cannot be undone.
- 00:15:59.515 --> 00:16:02.418
- Other sins such as gluttony and drunkenness
- 00:16:02.418 --> 00:16:05.587
- Encompass morally neutral things such as food or drink.
- 00:16:05.587 --> 00:16:10.492
- There's nothing righteous or unrighteous
- 00:16:10.492 --> 00:16:12.795
- About food or drink,
- 00:16:12.795 --> 00:16:14.496
- In which the body participates,
- 00:16:14.496 --> 00:16:16.198
- And though destructive,
- 00:16:16.198 --> 00:16:18.167
- Can be corrected through abstinence."
- 00:16:18.167 --> 00:16:20.569
- Now get this.
- 00:16:20.569 --> 00:16:21.870
- "however, a touch can never be untouched.
- 00:16:21.870 --> 00:16:26.075
- A kiss can never be unkissed.
- 00:16:26.075 --> 00:16:28.744
- An embrace can never be embraced.
- 00:16:28.744 --> 00:16:31.947
- In this sense, all other sins are outside the body,
- 00:16:31.947 --> 00:16:36.118
- While sexual sin is against the body,
- 00:16:36.118 --> 00:16:39.021
- A body that is become the temple of the holy spirit."
- 00:16:39.021 --> 00:16:43.892
- I might add, and it's obvious,
- 00:16:44.526 --> 00:16:47.529
- When we commit adultery,
- 00:16:47.529 --> 00:16:49.064
- We're also sinning against our sexual partner.
- 00:16:49.064 --> 00:16:52.734
- We're forcing them to become an accomplice
- 00:16:52.734 --> 00:16:56.271
- To every crime we just talked about.
- 00:16:56.271 --> 00:16:58.774
- They're sinning against themselves,
- 00:16:58.774 --> 00:17:00.809
- Against their god,
- 00:17:00.809 --> 00:17:02.111
- And against their mate if they're married.
- 00:17:02.111 --> 00:17:04.646
- It starts with mental adultery,
- 00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:08.283
- Then there is physical adultery.
- 00:17:08.283 --> 00:17:10.452
- And finally, james says in verse 15,
- 00:17:10.452 --> 00:17:13.155
- "there is death.
- 00:17:13.155 --> 00:17:14.756
- When sin is accomplished,
- 00:17:14.756 --> 00:17:16.258
- It brings forth death."
- 00:17:16.258 --> 00:17:18.627
- What does he mean death?
- 00:17:18.627 --> 00:17:19.828
- Well, there's a general sense
- 00:17:19.828 --> 00:17:21.163
- In which all sin ends up in physical death.
- 00:17:21.163 --> 00:17:24.533
- The reason we die is because we've inherited the sin virus.
- 00:17:24.533 --> 00:17:28.971
- But i think he's talking about something more here.
- 00:17:28.971 --> 00:17:31.807
- Sin destroys everything important to us,
- 00:17:31.807 --> 00:17:35.477
- And i can see from my own experience as a pastor
- 00:17:35.477 --> 00:17:38.614
- How adultery can destroy a marriage.
- 00:17:38.614 --> 00:17:41.083
- It destroys a family.
- 00:17:41.083 --> 00:17:42.317
- It destroys a career.
- 00:17:42.317 --> 00:17:43.252
- It destroys a reputation.
- 00:17:43.252 --> 00:17:45.420
- It can destroy your ministry.
- 00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:46.955
- It destroys everything that is valuable to us.
- 00:17:46.955 --> 00:17:51.126
- And that's why there's so many warnings about adultery.
- 00:17:51.126 --> 00:17:54.229
- Solomon, why he focused on this,
- 00:17:54.229 --> 00:17:56.899
- He experienced the effects of adultery
- 00:17:56.899 --> 00:17:59.835
- With his dad, king david,
- 00:17:59.835 --> 00:18:01.904
- And the heartache it brought to david.
- 00:18:01.904 --> 00:18:03.872
- He experienced it in his own life as well.
- 00:18:03.872 --> 00:18:07.176
- Just listen to some of these warnings.
- 00:18:07.176 --> 00:18:08.911
- Proverbs 6:25-26,
- 00:18:08.911 --> 00:18:11.880
- "do not desire her beauty in your heart,
- 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.683
- Nor let her capture you with her eyelids,
- 00:18:14.683 --> 00:18:17.853
- For on account of a harlot,
- 00:18:17.853 --> 00:18:20.055
- One is reduced to a loaf of bread
- 00:18:20.055 --> 00:18:23.192
- And an adulterous hunts for the precious life."
- 00:18:23.192 --> 00:18:26.328
- If you ever talk to anybody
- 00:18:26.328 --> 00:18:27.496
- Having to pay alimony or child support
- 00:18:27.496 --> 00:18:30.465
- Or having to divide their household,
- 00:18:30.465 --> 00:18:33.402
- They'll tell you what it means
- 00:18:33.402 --> 00:18:34.536
- To be reduced to a loaf of bread.
- 00:18:34.536 --> 00:18:36.972
- Proverbs 6:27-29,
- 00:18:36.972 --> 00:18:39.341
- "can a man take fire to his bosom
- 00:18:39.341 --> 00:18:41.643
- And his clothes not be burned?"
- 00:18:41.643 --> 00:18:43.212
- This is something you can't play around with.
- 00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:45.581
- "can a man walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
- 00:18:45.581 --> 00:18:49.251
- So is the one who goes into his neighbor's wife.
- 00:18:49.251 --> 00:18:52.688
- Whoever touches her will not go unpunished."
- 00:18:52.688 --> 00:18:56.458
- Or here's one that's just as blunt as you can get.
- 00:18:56.458 --> 00:18:58.727
- Proverbs 6:32-33,
- 00:18:58.727 --> 00:19:00.829
- "the one who commits adultery has no sense.
- 00:19:00.829 --> 00:19:04.933
- He who would destroy himself does it,
- 00:19:04.933 --> 00:19:07.769
- Disgraces his lot and his shame will never be wiped away."
- 00:19:07.769 --> 00:19:13.041
- One more warning and a note of hope.
- 00:19:13.842 --> 00:19:16.044
- Ecclesiastes 7:26,
- 00:19:16.044 --> 00:19:18.480
- "i discovered more bitter than death
- 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.583
- Is the adulterous woman whose heart is snared and is nets
- 00:19:21.583 --> 00:19:26.855
- And whose hands are chains,
- 00:19:27.456 --> 00:19:29.024
- But one who is pleasing to god will escape from her,
- 00:19:29.024 --> 00:19:33.829
- But the sinner will be captured by her."
- 00:19:33.829 --> 00:19:37.132
- If you're a believer, adultery isn't inevitable.
- 00:19:37.132 --> 00:19:41.370
- There is a way to escape from that sin,
- 00:19:41.370 --> 00:19:45.841
- But you have to be intentional to do so.
- 00:19:45.841 --> 00:19:48.910
- How do you avoid the devastating sin of adultery?
- 00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:53.415
- Solomon said the key is proverbs 4:23.
- 00:19:53.415 --> 00:19:56.952
- He wrote, "watch over your heart with all diligence
- 00:19:56.952 --> 00:20:02.224
- For out of your heart flow the issues,
- 00:20:03.058 --> 00:20:05.594
- The springs of life."
- 00:20:05.594 --> 00:20:08.030
- You have to understand, in the hebrew mind,
- 00:20:08.030 --> 00:20:11.733
- The heart was not the center of emotion.
- 00:20:11.733 --> 00:20:15.137
- It's a feeling that you have,
- 00:20:15.137 --> 00:20:17.205
- But that wasn't the way the hebrews thought of it.
- 00:20:17.205 --> 00:20:19.141
- To the hebrews, the seed of emotion wasn't the heart,
- 00:20:19.141 --> 00:20:22.678
- But the bowels, the intestines.
- 00:20:22.678 --> 00:20:26.281
- That's where you felt things deeply.
- 00:20:26.281 --> 00:20:29.117
- The heart was the center of thought.
- 00:20:29.117 --> 00:20:31.553
- It was the mind.
- 00:20:31.553 --> 00:20:32.754
- That's why proverbs says,
- 00:20:32.754 --> 00:20:34.523
- As a man thinks in his what, heart.
- 00:20:34.523 --> 00:20:38.226
- That's what we think with our heart so is he.
- 00:20:38.226 --> 00:20:40.796
- So when solomon says, "watch over your heart,"
- 00:20:40.796 --> 00:20:43.665
- He's not just talking about your affections.
- 00:20:43.665 --> 00:20:45.434
- He's talking about your mind.
- 00:20:45.434 --> 00:20:47.502
- That's where it all starts.
- 00:20:47.502 --> 00:20:49.971
- I want to suggest today there are five sentries,
- 00:20:49.971 --> 00:20:53.909
- Five soldiers that you ought to employ
- 00:20:53.909 --> 00:20:56.878
- To guard your heart, your mind,
- 00:20:56.878 --> 00:20:59.481
- To protect you from adultery.
- 00:20:59.481 --> 00:21:01.416
- First of all, your eyes.
- 00:21:01.416 --> 00:21:04.119
- Make a covenant with your eyes.
- 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:08.056
- You remember in our series, "18 minutes with jesus",
- 00:21:08.056 --> 00:21:10.926
- I said that adultery in the bed
- 00:21:10.926 --> 00:21:13.128
- Begins with adultery in the head.
- 00:21:13.128 --> 00:21:15.897
- But it really goes back farther than that.
- 00:21:15.897 --> 00:21:17.766
- It actually begins not in the mind.
- 00:21:17.766 --> 00:21:19.968
- It begins with the eyes.
- 00:21:19.968 --> 00:21:22.070
- Matthew 5:28, jesus said,
- 00:21:22.070 --> 00:21:23.872
- "i say to you that everyone who looks at a woman
- 00:21:23.872 --> 00:21:26.675
- With lust for her
- 00:21:26.675 --> 00:21:28.343
- Has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
- 00:21:28.343 --> 00:21:32.614
- It's not just looking at another person.
- 00:21:32.614 --> 00:21:35.183
- It's gazing at another person, staring at another person,
- 00:21:35.183 --> 00:21:40.055
- Thinking about them,
- 00:21:40.055 --> 00:21:41.890
- Performing a mental undressing of the other person,
- 00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:45.360
- An imagined seduction and intercourse.
- 00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:48.163
- That's what it means to lust after another person.
- 00:21:48.163 --> 00:21:51.800
- And do that long enough and often enough,
- 00:21:51.800 --> 00:21:54.202
- It's going to result in a physical act of adultery.
- 00:21:54.202 --> 00:21:57.539
- And that's why job said in job 31:1,
- 00:21:57.539 --> 00:22:01.076
- "i made a covenant with my eyes
- 00:22:01.076 --> 00:22:04.212
- Not to look lustfully at a woman.
- 00:22:04.212 --> 00:22:06.615
- Begin with a simple agreement he had.
- 00:22:06.615 --> 00:22:08.917
- "i am not going to look lustfully at another person."
- 00:22:08.917 --> 00:22:12.454
- He's not saying he's not going to glance at another woman.
- 00:22:13.622 --> 00:22:15.557
- You can't not do that.
- 00:22:15.557 --> 00:22:17.993
- But you can refuse to gaze
- 00:22:17.993 --> 00:22:20.695
- And involved in those lustful thoughts.
- 00:22:20.695 --> 00:22:23.298
- And by the way,
- 00:22:23.298 --> 00:22:24.599
- The person doesn't have to be there in person.
- 00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.535
- You can lust after somebody in your imagination.
- 00:22:26.535 --> 00:22:29.304
- You can lust after somebody after looking at pornography
- 00:22:29.304 --> 00:22:33.375
- Or a movie or television.
- 00:22:33.375 --> 00:22:35.510
- He said, "i'm not going to allow my eyes
- 00:22:35.510 --> 00:22:38.747
- To look continually at another woman."
- 00:22:38.747 --> 00:22:41.817
- The second sentry, guard to place at your mind
- 00:22:41.817 --> 00:22:45.020
- Is to avoid compromising company.
- 00:22:45.020 --> 00:22:49.057
- Avoid compromising company.
- 00:22:49.057 --> 00:22:51.760
- Remember 1 corinthians 15:33,
- 00:22:51.760 --> 00:22:54.029
- "do not be deceived,
- 00:22:54.029 --> 00:22:55.831
- Bad company corrupts good morals."
- 00:22:55.831 --> 00:23:00.101
- Remember that, bad company corrupts good morals.
- 00:23:00.101 --> 00:23:04.139
- Do you remember my illustration of that?
- 00:23:04.139 --> 00:23:06.208
- I got it from somebody else, but it's a great illustration.
- 00:23:06.208 --> 00:23:09.911
- If it's raining outside,
- 00:23:09.911 --> 00:23:11.179
- You decide to go out and work in your flower bed
- 00:23:11.179 --> 00:23:14.115
- And you put some white gloves on,
- 00:23:14.115 --> 00:23:16.084
- What's going to happen?
- 00:23:16.084 --> 00:23:17.686
- Your white gloves are going to get muddy, right?
- 00:23:18.687 --> 00:23:21.723
- Never in a thousand years
- 00:23:22.290 --> 00:23:25.227
- Will the mud become more glove-y.
- 00:23:25.227 --> 00:23:27.996
- Doesn't work that way.
- 00:23:27.996 --> 00:23:29.865
- The mud doesn't become glove-y,
- 00:23:29.865 --> 00:23:31.833
- But the glove becomes muddy.
- 00:23:31.833 --> 00:23:33.869
- It's the same way with hanging around sinners.
- 00:23:33.869 --> 00:23:37.072
- They rub off on you, especially immoral people.
- 00:23:37.072 --> 00:23:40.842
- People who are engaged in adultery or fornication.
- 00:23:40.842 --> 00:23:45.347
- People who talk about it, people who joke about it.
- 00:23:45.347 --> 00:23:48.216
- I think that's what paul has in mind.
- 00:23:48.216 --> 00:23:50.452
- (bright music)
- 00:23:50.452 --> 00:23:55.190
- There's more i need to share with you
- 00:23:56.024 --> 00:23:57.392
- On this very sensitive topic.
- 00:23:57.392 --> 00:23:59.327
- So please be sure to join me again next time
- 00:23:59.327 --> 00:24:01.830
- For part two of the message, "keep marriage holy".
- 00:24:01.830 --> 00:24:05.934
- Now, in closing,
- 00:24:05.934 --> 00:24:07.302
- I want to tell you about an incredible opportunity
- 00:24:07.302 --> 00:24:09.871
- To double the impact of your ministry gift.
- 00:24:09.871 --> 00:24:12.807
- Several generous friends of pathway to victory
- 00:24:12.807 --> 00:24:15.577
- Have established the $1.5 million
- 00:24:15.577 --> 00:24:18.613
- In god we trust matching challenge.
- 00:24:18.613 --> 00:24:21.316
- From now through july 5th,
- 00:24:21.316 --> 00:24:23.118
- Your gift will be matched and therefore doubled in impact
- 00:24:23.118 --> 00:24:26.788
- Until we reach the goal.
- 00:24:26.788 --> 00:24:28.623
- America is in a spiritual crisis.
- 00:24:28.623 --> 00:24:31.359
- Your gift today will help us reach more people
- 00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:34.462
- With the hope of the gospel.
- 00:24:34.462 --> 00:24:36.431
- And please stay right there.
- 00:24:36.431 --> 00:24:37.999
- I'll be back with more pathway to victory in just a moment.
- 00:24:37.999 --> 00:24:41.570
- Most of us grew up seeing the 10 commandments
- 00:24:42.537 --> 00:24:44.739
- Posted in our schools and courthouses.
- 00:24:44.739 --> 00:24:47.242
- So why don't we seem to follow
- 00:24:47.242 --> 00:24:48.944
- Those 10 commandments anymore?
- 00:24:48.944 --> 00:24:51.246
- In "the ten",
- 00:24:51.246 --> 00:24:52.614
- Dr. robert jeffress shows us these ancient truths
- 00:24:52.614 --> 00:24:55.383
- Were not given to us to take away our freedom.
- 00:24:55.383 --> 00:24:58.253
- They were given to enhance our happiness
- 00:24:58.253 --> 00:25:00.755
- And to invite us into a deeper love relationship with god.
- 00:25:00.755 --> 00:25:04.359
- In a culture where moral confusion reigns
- 00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.462
- For what's right is wrong and what's wrong is right,
- 00:25:07.462 --> 00:25:10.532
- We desperately need to get back to the basics of morality,
- 00:25:10.532 --> 00:25:14.269
- And that's exactly what the 10 commandments help us do.
- 00:25:14.269 --> 00:25:17.973
- "the 10" by dr. robert jeffress,
- 00:25:17.973 --> 00:25:20.742
- A copy is yours today
- 00:25:20.742 --> 00:25:22.143
- When you give a generous gift to pathway to victory.
- 00:25:22.143 --> 00:25:25.080
- And when your ministry gift is $125 or more,
- 00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:28.583
- You'll receive not only the book,
- 00:25:28.583 --> 00:25:30.452
- But a personal and group study guide,
- 00:25:30.452 --> 00:25:32.654
- "the 10" encouragement cards,
- 00:25:32.654 --> 00:25:34.489
- A colorful children's book
- 00:25:34.489 --> 00:25:35.890
- Called "the 10 commandments for kids",
- 00:25:35.890 --> 00:25:38.426
- And the complete series on dvd video and audio disc.
- 00:25:38.426 --> 00:25:42.397
- You will never make it to heaven
- 00:25:42.397 --> 00:25:44.432
- By keeping the 10 commandments,
- 00:25:44.432 --> 00:25:46.735
- But you will have a much better life here on earth
- 00:25:46.735 --> 00:25:49.838
- If you do.
- 00:25:49.838 --> 00:25:51.106
- That is the promise that god is making.
- 00:25:51.106 --> 00:25:53.441
- For 30 years, pathway to victory
- 00:25:53.441 --> 00:25:55.710
- Has been sharing god's truth with a world
- 00:25:55.710 --> 00:25:58.146
- That needs it now more than ever.
- 00:25:58.146 --> 00:26:00.248
- And when you give today,
- 00:26:00.248 --> 00:26:01.783
- Your gift will be doubled in impact
- 00:26:01.783 --> 00:26:03.885
- Through the in god we trust matching challenge.
- 00:26:03.885 --> 00:26:07.122
- Thank you for helping us pierce the darkness
- 00:26:07.122 --> 00:26:09.758
- With the light of god's word.
- 00:26:09.758 --> 00:26:13.261
- Cheating on a partner never remains a secret.
- 00:26:14.195 --> 00:26:17.599
- Eventually, sinful behavior will be brought into the light
- 00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:21.269
- And terrible consequences will follow.
- 00:26:21.269 --> 00:26:24.506
- So now that we've identified the definition
- 00:26:24.506 --> 00:26:26.941
- And the progression of adultery,
- 00:26:26.941 --> 00:26:28.843
- How do we avoid it?
- 00:26:28.843 --> 00:26:30.445
- Next time, i'm going to suggest five strategies
- 00:26:30.445 --> 00:26:32.981
- To guard your heart and mind against adultery.
- 00:26:32.981 --> 00:26:36.851
- Stay tuned for a preview of what's coming up next
- 00:26:36.851 --> 00:26:38.820
- In our series, "the 10".
- 00:26:38.820 --> 00:26:41.489
- Is it possible for a marriage to survive adultery?
- 00:26:42.524 --> 00:26:46.828
- The good news is yes.
- 00:26:46.828 --> 00:26:48.897
- One biblical writer says,
- 00:26:48.897 --> 00:26:50.398
- "marriages torpedoed by affairs need not sink.
- 00:26:50.398 --> 00:26:55.103
- They can be towed into dry dock,
- 00:26:55.103 --> 00:26:57.405
- Repaired and refitted.
- 00:26:57.405 --> 00:26:59.374
- And once refitted,
- 00:26:59.374 --> 00:27:00.909
- They will sail farther and faster
- 00:27:00.909 --> 00:27:03.778
