How to battle sexual temptation
"Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: 'It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.' 2But because of the temptation to sexual immorality [porneia], each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."
1 Corinthians 7:1-5
Corinth was a sexually idolatrous and immoral culture, much like the USA. Paul notes the strong temptation for sexual immorality, a temptation that is easily understood because we were created as sexual beings. We are prone to distort and misuse what God has created for His glory.

What does Scripture teach regarding the nature of human life and the unborn? When does this teaching apply? Fifth in a series of six Scriptural Themes that indicate why we are pro-life.
Scriptural teaching regarding the value of human life and our responsibility to protect and care for innocent human life applies in every case.
Then the Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? - Exodus 4:11; See also Isaiah. 45:9-11
I know that I have said some controversial things so far in this message. My goal is to be faithful to what scripture and evident reason teaches. We believe that life comes from God.
