DAILY?READINGS: 1 Kings 22; Jeremiah 33; Hebrews 4:14 to 5:10

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but [fornicators] and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4

The original word for fornicator here is pornos, from which we get the common name for one of our society’s gravest evils. As the world grows ever more accepting of sexual immorality and the flaunting of it, God’s people must be ever vigilant to escape its ruinous effects. It is an evil that corrupts the mind, ruins lives, destroys relationships, degrades humanity, abuses children, demeans women and fills the prisons. Keep yourself from it! Make no mistake, God will judge. —Rick Morse

When sin no more obstructs the sight, and flesh and sense deceive no more;
What heights and depths of love divine, will there through endless ages shine.
—Joseph Swain
