Today's Destin for Victor message so you want to get married. Sexual sin is crisp and clear days when just the one night stands and friends would benefit and sex and all the rest of the so-called Christian singles are participating in the Bible calls it dictation fornication. It is translated sexual immorality in the other, more modern English translations. What exactly is going to think of me when you are sexually harassing somebody but where two consenting people want to do something and they both have feelings of affection for one another. See why that would be sin, but I am telling you things, and when you are telling me why you don't see how that could possibly be what you believe. Baloney and you continue in your disobedience and living in sin outside of the will of God Bible says that you will not in the kingdom of God will make me prove it.

Chapter 6 verse nine do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Do not be deceived, sexually immoral, sexually tomorrow. If you live in obedience and sin you will you know the truth is to do the will of God. The Bible says don't you know one inherit the kingdom of God first Corinthians 10 verse eight we should not commit sexual immorality as some of the early Israelites did, and in one day in the wilderness he's talking about under Moses.

23,000 of them.2nd Corinthians 1221 when I come again, my God will be before you possibly can to the church will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity sexual sin and the battery in which they have been dull. Galatians 519, the acts of the sinful nature are obvious first thing on the list, sexually immoral with this point not yet Ephesians 5 Paris, but among you must not even be a hint of sexual immorality, June, 17 way Solomon tomorrow and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and immersion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. That's how seriously you sound serious because it is serious below plays games and makes light of sin.

But the Bible takes it ever so seriously. The apostle Paul said, also enforcement in six don't you know that when you are saved, your body is not sure you guys your body is serious stuff with God no such thing as a Christian checker Christian fornicator, lifestyle, falling you fall, you were.

You are not before God I messed up. The Bible says when your repentance is genuine.

So is God's forgiveness. But we all noted the difference between a fall and a lifestyle where sale this weekend and I'm planning to fall again this weekend.

You know you holidays come about to get a couple falls in likely them.

Don't condemn you if you have a minute before God in your heart you have reported on the Bible says when you can sin is an important you of your sin.

As you will.

One of my grace is when you get it right this all right until God even remember your Old Testament property that says he takes your sins and see them no more. Sometime when you can and throwing up your own path and God's ways.

He said I don't know what you talking about, because when God forgives you it is a done deal. But the people who have had a fall in a truly repentant want a godly lifestyle and the place of God and turn into disgrace and I'm here to tell you that I don't care who says it's okay.

How cool it is in society and the Bible. According to the word of God that will judge us all in the in idiocy and so what do I do okay. I gotta cut this out all right.

Thanks so much for being here for today's destined for victory message so you want to get married as promised. Pastor Paul has joined me from a studio in California thanks giving is just around the corner. It's time for us to count our blessings, but for being honest pastor 2020 has been a year when it's been tough for us to see those blessings remind me, why is it important for us to be thankful. Even in times of uncertainty and unrest.

Yeah, I think being thankful is one of the fundamental values that we learn and I learned it as a toddler, and I think most people did you know your parents teach you very early on, especially billable church. And having folks walk up to me and give me something candy or a nickel or something like that and your parents teach you from the very beginning. Make sure to say thank you and that lesson is one of those bedrock principles that we should build our lives on. So now that were all grown and living our lives, we need to go back and remember, no one owes you anything and so it's good to be thankful.

Just as a matter of lifestyle, but especially as we think about how good God has been to us. Even through our trials, even through our difficulties. God has been good this year a pandemic. God has been faithful and helped us get through some very challenging times and we'll have a lot of thanks so I think that these are days when we need to take advantage of this built in holiday of Thanksgiving and to make sure we're grateful to the Lord.

In fact, in this month's encouragement letter. I mentioned one of 10 lepers who returned to Jesus. He healed 10 of them, but only one thought to go back and to worship him and give him thanks.

I think that's the way we are to live our lives like that one leper and make sure God knows how grateful we are and how thankful we are that we have God in the Lord to lean on during the time of pandemic and epidemics right absolutely true. In fact, a one of my favorite re-sentence Scripture passages is where Paul wrote to the church of Thessalonica and he said, rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks, it will do that. I think I will be pleased in our lives will be richer because of it.
