There is to be found in sexual misconduct no act of love.

Whenever we read about a crime being committed, we look for the motive, the opportunity, and the alibi for catching the perpetrator(s).  This can be instructive for determining the boundaries of sexual behavior in our society.  When we apply the standard of agape (selfless love), we can see our Lord's motivations for defining boundaries of allowable sexual behavior.  In this regard, it is well known that God established that sexual behavior is only by and between marriage partners.  Any other behavior is from selfishness and risks not only spiritual maladies, but also physical maladies.

Before you act, think! Our Lord prohibits sexual misconduct because of His concern for our welfare. Consider the proliferation of sexually transmitted diseases and then ask yourself, why do I want to go there???

So, be careful and do not go outside marriage for a sensual thrill...it could very well kill you and your loved ones!  Before Fifi La Touche gives you her look, consider the filthy disease that is floating around in her body.  Before Mr. Suave sweeps you off your feet and suggests a one night stand, consider the disease that is floating around in his body.

Suppose you love someone, but you want to try "married life" before committing to that relationship...  Such is wrong thinking, because if you cannot commit to a relationship for life, you best not ever try a gallon either, lest you end up in a terminated relationship, with germs that when combined with your future partner would bring death and destruction to your future family.  Besides, trying out a "married" relationship without marriage is still considered by our Lord as a marriage and whether you like it or not, it is a life long relationship.  Moreover, whenever such a relationship ends, and a new partner is found...it is a relationship that is barred by our Lord in order to protect us from disease, and the label for the bar is Adultery.

Please consider these things and perform agape in your relationships with people.  In the long run, it will prevent misery and suffering later in our lives.  As a seed is planted, so it is reaped in the harvest.  Likewise, when we sow a good thing, then we obtain a good harvest.  We have stronger children, less disease, and happier lives.

God Bless you all.
