Sex Outside Of Marriage: Pastor Lloyd Pulley On What The Bible Says
November 22, 2016
Nowadays, saving yourself for marriage is considered an old fashioned and even unrealistic practice. And if you think this opinion is limited to the "unchurched," think again. An estimated 40 percent of professing Christians engaged in sex outside of marriage. Yet, the Bible is pretty clear on the issue. And Pastor Lloyd Pulley has an eye-opening explanation of why God intended sex for husband and wife only!
"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled" Hebrews 13:4
Sex Outside Of Marriage
It's no surprise to most that the Bible considers sex outside of marriage a no-no. But if you asked why, most Christians and non-Christians alike would probably share the same answer: "It's a sin."

While that's true, it's much deeper than that. And Pastor Lloyd Pulley not only explains God's purpose in reserving sex for marriage, but also gives some great advice on how to stand firm on the matter. And what he has to say is a message everyone should hear!
Please share this important message with everyone you know!
"Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18
Now, here's what God says is okay with sex in marriage!
