In April 2017, Randy Alcorn taught a course at Veritas Evangelical Seminary on the subject of sexual purity. In this clip, he answers the question, "Is sexual immorality inevitable?"

The article I link to at the end inspired me to write this blog. It addresses the Millennial Generation’s acceptable sin—sex outside of marriage. 

Recently when I posted an article from Tony Reinke about homosexuality and idolatry on my blog, I received a thoughtful question from a reader asking if homosexuality is a “worse” sin than others in God’s view.

What God’s Word has to say.

As a man, husband, and more recently a father—I have struggled and struggled with sexual temptation. At my breaking point-being “tired” of the ongoing struggle and to seek support—I submitted a prayer request at a recent church leadership retreat, asking the intercessors to pray “That I would always and forever remain faithful to my wife and, never, ever commit adultery.”

What is true repentance? My pastor committed immorality and says he is truly sorry. But I question if he is really repentant. 

Your desire to marry someone who has remained pure is a great goal. However, because we are sinful by nature, some people do have sex outside of marriage, maybe even before they became a Christian.

If only we would rehearse in advance the ugly and overwhelming consequences of immorality, we would be far more prone to avoid it.
