Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" ~ Hebrews 13:4-6

The Bible cuts right to the truth. You cannot argue with what God says in His Word. It's right there for us to read and walk in His Truth.

I get frustrated watching TV and seeing all the disgusting shows that are on there promoting extramarrital affairs and sex before marriage. There is so much sleeping around and cheating happening in these shows or movies. What makes me even more frustrated is that by watching it we support the ratings and encourage them to show it.

In today's society stepping outside the marriage boundaries is glamorized. I trust my husband 100% and he trusts me. I am so thankful that God has brought him into my life and chosen the best person for me. Our marriage is not perfect but one thing we have promised each other is to never allow ourselves to be in a situation where we could be tempted or do something to jeopardize our marriage.

Hebrews 13 also talks about the love of money. Money is the root of all evil, the Bible tells us. It really can be. It can be something that Satan will use to come between people by creating jealousy or it can be something he uses to lead us into sin. God hates sin. Satan loves it. The second we step outside the boundaries of marriage the way God designed it or we lust after things we don't have, Satan has us in his snare. It's a wicked snare that we need to continually pray for God's hedge of protection to be around us.

God promises he'll never leave us or forsake us. The more we draw closer to God the more we walk like Jesus did. If we're filling our mind with the junk that's out there and not filling ourselves with what God wants for us in His Word, you can start walking the way the world wants us to. We become desensitized to the evil out there.

There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
My son, keep your father's commands
and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
Bind them upon your heart forever;
fasten them around your neck.
When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
For these commands are a lamp,
this teaching is a light,
and the corrections of discipline are the way to life,
keeping you from the immoral woman,
from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife.
~ Proverbs 6: 16-24

It's easy to get caught up in what we see on TV or movies. Satan uses this to stomp on our self esteem and self confidence. God wants what's best for us. Fill your mind with God's words, not the world's words. Keep your mind pure. Soak in on how Jesus walked and follow by example. Let God's commands be the lamp, His teachings the light.
