Proverbs 6:27



Daily musings, gripes, etc.  (limit 3-5)  😏
  1. Would you date a skank - someone who is morally and spiritually lacking?  Applies to males/females!
  2. What ever happened to honesty from Christians?  
  3. Has relativism destroyed the church?

Proverbs 6:27 - Can a man take fire in his bosom  and his clothes not be burned?

Key words/phrases: context:  verses 27-29
  • take/carry/embrace H2846 - lay hold of, heap
  • fire H784 - hot
  • bosom/chest H2436
  • clothes/garments H899
  • burned H8313

What does it say (in my own words)?   Casual sex, casual sin will burn you.

What does it mean?   We live in a sex-saturated world.  Nothing new - see the bible texts.  Some will readily say they've not committed the physical act.  But wait, what of the lust of the heart?  And let's not leave out porn.  And no, this isn't just about men.  There are enough sleaze bags out there to open a chapter of Skanks R Us - and I'm referring to men and women.

Study Questions:  
  1. What do you get when you play with fire/sin?
  2. Does this deal with men only?
Personal application:  don't go there!....Blessings on your day.  😇
