MarginSample

While there are many areas of life where we need to create moral margin, one of the most important is when it comes to sexual temptation. The Bible often speaks about the dangers of sexual sins because of how enticing they are and the dangerous consequences that can result. Almost daily we hear stories of affairs, divorces, pornography addictions, and abuse. These are problems that statistics say are growing significantly year after year. This is why Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:18 to flee from sexual immorality. Don’t see if you can walk a fine line around sexual temptation, but instead run. Run as fast as you can. While all sin separates us from God, an argument can be made that sexual sins typically cost you more than other sins. If you sin sexually, it could cost you your job, your marriage, and your kids. It could cost you your reputation, your self-esteem, and even your life. Run away. Where in your life might you need to create moral margin? How will you go about creating that margin?
