  (Click here to search for all the posts in this series…) Ephesians 5:3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; (NKJV) (Previous devotionals can be found at www.seriousfaith.com)The problem of lust, impurity and immorality is a major issue with both genders today.

  Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; (NKJV) (Previous devotionals can be found at www.seriousfaith.com)God gave them over to a debased mind. That sounds pretty frightening. What does it mean?First, who is God talking about? We find that answer starting back in verse 18:Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, (NKJV) The entire thought from verse 18 to the end of chapter 1, is talking about the unrighteous, sinful man who rejects God even though the Creator is clearly revealed in creation (v.20), and [...]
