Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 28 – The Lord Exposes The People’s Sins For They Had Married Sin And Religion Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 3, 2024

Great sinners think they can sin but God does not see it, or it does not matter if mixed with a bit of religion. God lists Judah’s sins. Sin hardens people. It grows callouses. God’s message just slips away with ease. We need to be serious with God and not indifferent about our relationship.

"Divorce And Remarriage = Adultery" Jesus. Series

"Mr. Worng Meets Mr. Right"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Sep 22, 2003

What Does The Bible Say About Sex Before Marriage?

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Aug 2, 2024

Sex outside of marriage is so commonplace (inside and outside the church), and many people do not even consider the idea of getting married, that it appears that no-one actually knows what God wants for us.

“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a ...read more
