John the Baptist said to Herod, ‘It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife’. Herodias the ‘wife’, wanted to kill the Baptist as a result. Why was the Baptist so concerned about sexual promiscuity? He could just have preached charity and love of neighbor, and not challenged the sexual fantasies of the rich and powerful that would backlash on him. Many believe sexual faults are not important and have little to do with the progress of human salvation. Sexual offenses are offenses against God. Sexuality was given for the propagation of life. Life which God has endowed to all living beings. He is directly involved with us, as all life is created and sustained by him. This powerful energy is to be under the control and service of pure love, otherwise it could control us and destroy the harmony of nature. There is a code of ethics operating. Therefore, let us guard ourselves and express love in the way that is suitable to our calling in life.

PRAYER: Abba Father, may my thoughts be surrendered to you. Amen.
