Pastor Otis Amey
The Purpose of Sex is Three-Fold: Babies, Bonding & Bliss
Prioritize Intimacy with The Lord > Intimacy with Any Other Person
There’s No Such Thing as Casual Sex
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price.Therefore honor God with your bodies.
“My Body, My Choice” vs. “You are NOT Your Own”
Galatians 5:16-17
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-4
3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a] in a way that is holy and honorable,
Proverbs 5:21
For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths.
