heart.

Matthew 5:27-3229 If your right eye causes you to
stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of
your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off
and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your
whole body to go into hell.

Matthew 5:27-3231 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces

What does this have to do with sex?
Sex was never designed to be a “consumer good.” It was
designed to be a “covenant good.”

Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man will
leave his father and mother and be united to his wife
[covenant marriage], and the two will become one flesh
[sexual consummation].

“The monstrosity of sex outside marriage is that those who indulge in it are trying to isolate one kind of union (the sexual) from all the other kinds of union which were intended to go along with it and
make up the total union.” -C.S. Lewis

from what is reigning in the heart.
