Have you ever really thought about this statement? Who’s truth? Your truth? My Truth?
It’s up to who you ask because my version of the truth is truth. And I don’t want anyone to tell me different. Why is that?
What am I afraid of?
The bible speaks of the truth setting you free. But sometimes the truth is painful to accept. Honesty of sin is scary. Facing past hurts can be heart breaking. But I have found and continue to find the truth will set you free to be a true statement. I know that may not be the popular answer.
Genesis 1:27
So God created mankind in his own image,in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Genesis 2:24
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
This is nothing new. Sexual immorality has been around since the beginning of time.
I’m a big proponent of boundaries. But no one wants to have boundaries these days. Or maybe we have boundaries just some areas of our life the boundaries are more open than in others.
If you’re unsure that there should be boundaries in the sexual arena then just open you’re bible app and read Chapters 19 & 20 in Leviticus. As I said before, this is not a new cultural issue.
Sin is at the crux of sexual immortality and those acts are the pure definition of sexual immortality. Each of them linked to something that is missing inside the human heart. A hole that is hollow and needing to be filled.
I was introduced to this song and find it’s lyrics interesting and on point for this topic.
Words such as zero, feel, nothing real, chaos, way out, ways of the ones before me, lonely and run away. All words of being hollow inside.

Notice mid-way …… Maybe you’re the same as me…..They say the truth will set you free.
Jesus came to set us free. Forgive us of our sin. Rid us of our guilt. Cleanse us of our shame.
He is the only thing that can fill that hole. Let Him fill it!
Lord I am grateful. Grateful that you have freed me from my old way of thinking. Cleansed me from my past and allowed me to heal from sins done against me. I’m grateful! Lord, I want to use my forgiveness to help others heal. Help me to be brave. Amen!
