Lord’s Day 41
108. Q. WHAT IS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU IN THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT?
A. God condemns all unchastity. We should therefore thoroughly detest it and, married or single, live decent and chaste lives.
109. Q. DOES GOD, IN THIS COMMANDMENT, FORBID ONLY SUCH SCANDALOUS SINS AS ADULTERY?
A. We are temples of the Holy Spirit, body and soul, and God wants both to be kept clean and holy. That is why He forbids everything which incites unchastity, whether it be actions, looks, talk, thoughts, or desires.
With the demands of the week, I was unable to put together much of a commentary on this Lord’s Day reading. That is unfortunate in that as parents, we need to protect our children in this area. Through T.V., the internet and a variety of other outlets, sexual immorality is too easily available.
Because this is such an important issue, I plan to post a few thoughts in the coming weeks on how we as parents can protect ourselves and our children in the area of sexual immorality.
