Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
–Romans 7:13 (KJV)–

When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; and he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
–Numbers 25:7-8 (KJV)–

The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
–Revelation 17:4-5 (KJV)–

They will not set their thoughts to return to their God:
for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them,
and they have not known the Lord.
–Hosea 5:4 (DRB)–

He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderers’ soap.
–Malachi 3:2 (NKJV)–

Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity.
–Hebrews 1:9 (KJV)–

How does the preacher go about this? I’m still working on it. And since it’s right around Valentine’s Day, my wife and I plan to do a podcast really soon on which WORDS are appropriate to use in sermons against sexual sin. The recent Mike Bickle report by the Firefly firm should be seen as a wake up call to the body of Christ. To WAKE UP to the need for preaching sermons AGAINST sexual sin, to HATE that sin, and to LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS. David Wilkerson’s sermon “Wild Donkeys” is a perfect example of this type of preaching that’s so desperately needed today. The old fundamentalist belief was that if there was enough strong preaching on sexual sin and Hell, then it would produce personal revival, spiritual deliverance, and transfer to the affections of the listeners A HATRED OF FORNICATION, so they would fear the reproach, damnation, and wave of destruction that such a sin causes. It should be highlighted and absolutely preached against as one of the most abominable transgressions, because it’s without question the most seductive and destructive influence on the family unit.

Let’s say a preacher is burdened and ready to go. Now what? Well watch your mouth preacher! Slang words don’t glorify the Lord, neither does depicting pornographic scenes into the minds of your listeners. The preacher’s job is not to preach erotic sermons, but to make sexual sin appear for what it is: a debasing, defiling, disgusting, family destroying force empowered by the devil himself.

Finding the right words, and excluding the wrong words is half the battle, and I’ll be closely examining Dr. John R. Rice’s Adultery and Sex Perversion and Why Preach Against Sin? to find the right words and try to do this with excellence. –J.B.
