day no. 16,598: so, sex is a weapon; but whose is it?

1 Corinthians 6:18

Flee sexual immorality.

1 Timothy 6:10

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

Sex and money are dangerous.

No doubt.

Use them the wrong way and they will bite back. Love them more than the Lord and they will devour. Most Christians know this, but that is only knowing the half of it. All sex is not immorality anymore than all saving is hoarding. Sex can be immoral, but it doesn't have to be. Lucre can be filthy, but all of it isn't. Too many Christians have been taught something akin to, "Sex is dirty, gross, and wrong; so, save it for the one you love," and, "Too much money corrupts, so leave most of it to those already corrupted by it."

So, sex is a weapon; but whose is it?

Money can corrode; but whose kingdom is coming down?

Most Christians know that sex can shipwreck one person's future and that money can shipwreck another person's faith, and that many times the two sink together; but they fail to realize that sex can grow the kingdom of Christ and that money can bankroll the boots that kick down the gates of Hell.

Faithful sex is fruitful in Christ to build His Church. Faithful saving can bless future generations and arm them for their fieldwork in destroying the demonic strongholds that still remain in their day. Sex and Money can be idols and there is a danger in them, but they can also be tools used by faithful hands for the advancement of Christendom.

Do not forsake the use of sex or surrender the salvo of savings. This will not prevent the devil from investing in them. Christian maturity is receiving sex and money as gifts and handling them responsibly as weapons against the darkness.
