Jesus plainly instructs his new community in the area of sexual ethics. While the focus is on adultery and the dangers of our thought life, his words open up the whole question about the reason sexuality is confined to the sanctity of marriage and the extremes we should go to uproot moral impurity from our lives.

Many cases of divorce are caused by adultery, which can be traced right back to a single thought at some point. Protect your marriage (or future marriage) by taking the necessary steps to protect your thought life. Pray individually/together about ways to safeguard your marriage.
