Here is the video I would like you to watch today. It is called “Guardrails: Flee Baby Flee” Part 3 of a series by Andy Stanley at Redstone Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
The caption beneath the video reads: “If there is one area in your life that absolutely needs some guardrails, this is probably it. It's the area that is the most difficult to recover from. It's the most needed yet most resisted area of all. Fortunately, the Bible is pretty clear on how we should approach it: Flee.
Our culture invites us to flirt with sexual immorality. The Bible tells us to flee from sexual immorality. So you've got to decide -- flirt or flee? To flee is to honor God with your body. But in order to do that, you need guardrails. So what guardrails will you put up?
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 says "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins people commit are outside their bodies, but those who sin sexually sin against their own bodies. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
A guardrail is something we need to have. It doesn’t exist to be obstructing life experiences or keeping you from going somewhere; it exists to save your life. I pray that you will take some time to think about where you need guardrails in your life, and I am thankful that we have a father who cares enough to provide us with Scripture to do so.
Have blessed night.
Much love,
