Our Corinthian Culture

They teach Sunday school classes, preach, sing, usher, and hold important church offices. They are professing Christians who are in good standing among many of their brethren in our assemblies. They’re husbands, wives, young adults, friends, and neighbors. No one dare speak out, for who are we to throw stones. And God have mercy on the one who mentions church discipline. In fact, this generation of Christians would not understand the meaning. I’m speaking of the vast amount of fornicating Christians around us. Or should I say, professing Christians.

Many permissive saints may not think much of the immorality that prevails amongst the so-called followers of Christ today, but that is only because of their ignorance. Or is it their cowardice?

The following scriptures show what God thinks of this wicked sin. By the way, you can forget revival in your church until this mess is cleaned up.

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD

Write unto them, that they abstain from...fornication.

It is reported commonly [that there is] fornication among you.

Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Flee fornication. Every sin  that  a man  doeth is  without  the body; but he that committeth fornication  sinneth  against  his own  body.

Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own  husband.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication ...which they have committed.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are...fornication.

But fornication ...let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth...fornication.

For this is the will of God [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah...giving themselves over to fornication...are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance  of eternal  fire.

But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them...who taught...the children of Israel...to commit fornication.

And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

And the woman... arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and  pearls...and filthiness of her fornication.

I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators.

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator... with such an one no not to eat.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin... If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
