Proverbs 7 (NIV)
Warning Against the Adulterous Woman
1 My son, keep my words
and store up my commands within you.

God’s intent for sex was an intimate and pleasurable thing for married people. This chapter warns against a woman using sex in a wrong way but both men and women can be guilty of this. Men can be weak when it comes to the temptation and women know that and can use it to their advantage.
However, more commonly in the world today we see a third party pulling the strings of how sex is used in our lives leading to so much hurt and pain. Companies using sex to sell something or advance a goal. Rampant sex in tv, movies, music and seldom in a moral way but more often in a “feels good, do it” mentality. We are an oversexualized society that is leading to confusion in our children who don’t understand true intimacy, people lead by lust using sex to abuse others, and a complete breakdown of marriage and monogamy. Satan loves every second of it and we must resist and teach our children God’s true intention for sex and purity.
Keep my commands and you shall live. Beware of women who are trying to lure you into sin. Guard the Lord’s teachings, write them on your heart!. Let wisdom be your closest friend to keep you from falling into traps of loose women. God is very explicit that wisdom will keep you from taking the highway to hell.
