The communities to which Paul writes letters sound pretty interesting. Many of them had conflicts, and there seem to be many debates about sexual immorality. I'm not a Biblical Scholar and don't know many of the details here as to what kind of sexual immorality Paul might've been addressing, but what's interesting is that it does come up in a section about a life pleasing to God. We're an embodied people, and how we use our bodies matters to God. God cares. We don't section off portions of our life and offer some to God and use the rest how we want. We're made in the image of God, all of us, and we're called to follow God, all of us, and to pursue a love of God with mind, body, and soul. So let us be thoughtful about our relationships, about how we use our minds and bodies. Every interaction is an opportunity to glorify God if we are thoughtful and focused on how God calls us to live.
