Sexual Modern Society

I would like to have a brief mention about this daily bible quote -

It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexually immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is honourable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; -
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

First of all, is this a practice that is performed much in modern society? We know that drinking and drug taking is a large problem that if removed from the society, could see a large drop in crime. The word 'virtue' is not often used in 21st century Britain.

I know that drinking and drugs is not mentioned in this quote, but I think it suits well with treating yourself (body) in a honourable way, I like this because I am a person who likes a drink down the pub every so often, but I know when to stop (most of the time anyway).

Now on to sexually immorality, which is quite to complex topic to discuss and must have many questions, therefore I doubt that I could dissect this subject and reach the right and wrongs, do's and do not's, I can only give my view on it.

I guess this quote is telling us that when we walk down the road towards marriage, we should always remember to keep our bodies full of morality and not lose sight of that goal.

Passionate lust cannot always be a bad thing as everybody lusts after others, we need to. However it must be better to lust after someone not only for an sexual experience and then move on move to another.

I could go deeper into this subject, but to keep this blog universal I will stop here. But finally I believe this text is important because it shows that God wants to keep us pure and to seek a partner in a virtuous way that shows self-control and self-respect.
