Heidelberg Catechism Q&A 109: "Flee Fornication; It's Not Like Most Other Sins”

Heidelberg Catechism for Sunday evening, June 7, at 5 p.m. at Waldensian Reformed Chapel at Hazelgreen: Lord’s Day 41 Q&A 109

Primary Scripture Text: I Corinthians 6
Psalms 51, 109

Heidelberg Catechism Lord’s Day 41 Q&A 109
Heidelberg Catechism Q. 109: “Does God in this commandment forbid nothing more than adultery and similar shameful sins?”
ANSWER: Since we, body and soul, are temples of the Holy Spirit, it is God's will that we keep ourselves pure and holy. Therefore he forbids all unchaste acts, gestures, words, thoughts, desires, [1] and whatever may entice us to unchastity. [2]

• 1. Matthew 5:27-29; I Corinthians 6:18-20; Ephesians 5:3-4.
• 2. I Corinthians 15:33; Ephesians 5:18.

Matthew 5:27-29 [27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

I Corinthians 6:18-20 [18] Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. [19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Ephesians 5:3-4 [3] But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; [4] Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

I Corinthians 15:33: Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Ephesians 5:18: And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.

“Abiding in Christ Doesn’t Mean Remaining in Sin” (I John 2:1-6) at the Waldensian Reformed Chapel at Hazelgreen

Primary Scripture Text: I John 2:1-6
Psalms 32, 143

Today’s Scripture: I John 2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

We were surprised to have a beautiful brand new asphalt road, thanks to the MoDOT Central Missouri District! After our regular prayer meeting Tuesday morning at Waldensian Reformed Chapel, we came outside to mow the grass and found the roadway full of Missouri Department of Transportation vehicles, including a steamroller. personnel are putting down an asphalt overlay on the South Outer Road of I-44 between Exit 145 and 140, leaving us, and our neighbors, with a beautiful road. Thank you, MoDOT road crews -- you do hard work in hot sun so the rest of us can travel safely. Those who haven't lived in other countries with very different views of what roads should be often don't realize how grateful we need to be in the USA for the workers who maintain our roads. There's always room for improvement, and not everyone will be happy with government decisions and priorities, but the road workers deserve our thanks.

Sermon snippet from Sunday evening's Heidelberg Catechism message on Q&A 108: "We have a sewer of filth coming into our homes every day… when a church does not address biblical subjects that are in Scripture, problems occur and those problems can become horrible very quickly."
