Chastity is God’s standard for our sexual side. It is not a ban but a boundary. It does not say “No, never!” It says, “Here, yes! Enjoy and rejoice!” It says that in spite of what you may have heard. There is no middle ground.
Increasingly, that standard is being disregarded. That is to be expected in the world outside the church. The pagan and secular world has always ignored God’s standards when not mocking them. The disaster we are seeing is that it is being abandoned and ignored even inside the church. The Bible gives clear blue-prints of our sexual relationships. The design of God is a front line issue in the conflict between God and Satan, between the true church and the contemporary culture. It is the difference between Christians and Xians. The lines are clear but they are being ignored.
