Summary

He does not know it will cost him his life.

Sounds like a horror movie -- where the killer is waiting in the woods without the person knowing.

But the person should never have come into the haunted house in the first place -- if only he knew it would cost him his life.

(Isn't that how those horror movies go? I don't actually know, I don't watch them.)

But, my hope is that this episode would grab you at your core.

I hope it does.

Our society says the absolute opposite of this about sexual sin.

It's so sad and so awful the way sex outside of marriage is touted in our society as "normal" and even "healthy".

Oh but it grieves God. And it destroys a man's soul.

"He does not know it will cost him his life". Prov 7:23

So I want to ring the bell. I want to yell in the streets -- you don't know the danger. You can't see the wreckage, but it is happening whether you see it or not.

So, much of Proverbs warns against the temptation of the wrong way of sex (and so many other places explicitly as well as embedded in stories of men who made these mistakes themselves).

It is a powerful warning.

I hope and pray this episode shakes you from your slumber.

And puts the fear of God in you so you no longer see yourself as a victim but as one who "does not even go near her corner".

Sexual sin should NOT be trifled with.

You know what sexual sin is for you (is it in reality or fantasy... all of that is the sin we are talking about.)

May you see the see evil and hide yourself, "But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty" Prv 22:3

That it might not cost you your life.

Blessings,

Belah

0:00.0	Welcome to the Delight Your Marriage podcast. You're joining me, Bella Rose, as I dive deep into the beauty, power, and truths about intimacy.
0:11.6	Learn not only the practicals, but the heart behind what making love is all about. Delight your marriage.
0:22.6	Hi there. I want to thank you so much for joining me. This is Bella. And if you're new to
0:27.7	the podcast, we talk a lot about intimacy. But I really work to make it presented in a way
0:35.9	that is God honoring and God glorifying and really keeps him at the center
0:41.1	because this is this is his design. I didn't make this up. The world didn't make this up.
0:47.3	This was God's design. And it's impossible to look at the male and female form and not say from the very beginning of their formation, sex was in God's design.
1:02.6	It's impossible to say that.
1:05.0	We've got the only way humanity could continue was through the means of physical intimacy. The only way humanity could continue was through the means of physical intimacy.
1:14.4	The only way.
1:16.2	So sex is absolutely in God's design.
1:19.7	And the more we search it out in a mindset of how can I learn more about God and glorify him more through this endeavor,
1:32.0	I just want to say you're on the right track.
1:36.1	No, no, I don't think this should consume your life.
1:38.9	And I think that marriage and intimacy is able to fuel God's work elsewhere in your life. This should not be
1:47.9	the only thing that's going for you. It should not. I'm serious. But when you get this thing
1:55.0	right and it's helping to fuel the rest of your life and God's work and helping you to love others well.
2:04.1	Then that's when I think it's working.
2:06.3	Then that's when I think things are going correctly.
2:10.0	So I want to talk today about the importance of recognizing the danger of lust, adultery, pornography, allowing your eyes to go after
2:25.4	someone other than your spouse, your eyes, your mind, any of those things. It's really important.
2:33.4	And God is very clear about it in the Bible. And one of the ulterior motives I have here in talking about it is not to condemn or make you feel more ashamed of yourself if you struggle this way, but really to say,
