The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Christian chastity is not based upon a view of sex as sinful, but a view of sex as holy. So holy that sex is not to be used as a weapon against others. Instead, God has given us all that we need to control an urge that is so powerful that only a covenant between a husband and wife can properly contain it. Don\u2019t be deceived by what the media tells us, we can control our sexual urges and show honor to others.\u00a0 ~ Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gracenyc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">GraceNYC.org<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ylb-container\" style=\"background-color:E6E6E6\">\n                   <a href=\"#\" class=\"ylb-close\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iowawebnet.com\/havefaith\/wp-content\/plugins\/mtx-license-plugin\/images\/close-icon.png\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t   <p><div style=\"background-color: #F8F8F8; color: #3B5D9B; font-style: italic;  font-size: 10px;\">\r\n<fieldset style=\"border: #FFF dotted 1px;\" >\r\n<legend><strong>Iowa Web Network<\/strong><\/legend>\r\n<span style=\"padding-left: 15px;\">This article is subject to Creative Common License.
