Powerful Daily Devotion With Christ - TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 2022

TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 2022


TEXT: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13


1. It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father’s wife.


2. And you are arrogant! Should you not rather have mourned, so that he who has done this would have been removed from among you?


3. For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present I have already pronounced judgment


4. in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing. When you are assembled, and my spirit is present with the power of our Lord Jesus,


5. you are to hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.


6. Your boasting is not a good thing. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?


7. Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch, as you really are unleavened. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed.


8. Therefore, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.


9. I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral persons-


10. not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world.


11. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother or sister who is sexually immorality or greedy, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one.


12. For what have I to do with judging those outside? Is it not those who are inside that you are to judge?


13. God will judge those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”


(New Revised Standard Version Holy Bible)


TOPIC: SEXUAL IMMORALITY IN THE CHURCH


A pastor was said to have been reported to the church leadership for committing sexual immorality with a church member. However, instead of dealing with the issue properly, the leadership just transferred him to another church. Unfortunately, he continued his trade in that same church and his sin was still covered. Many members left the church because of the way the leadership condoned evil.


Paul has made it clear that such people must not be tolerated in the Church of God. Sexual immorality and other sins which have bedeviled the Church must not be allowed. Those involved in such must be expelled, especially when they refuse to repent.


QUESTION: Are you one of those involved and condoning sin in the Church of God?


PRAYER: No matter the sin, help me, Oh Lord, never to be involved in or condone it, in Jesus name, Amen.
