Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories
Of what never was

We’re nowhere, we’re nowhere
We’re nowhere to be
Nowhere, we’re nowhere
We’re nowhere to see
To see

Livin’ makes me sick
So sick I wish I’d die
Down in the belly of the beast
I can’t lie

You’re nowhere, you’re nowhere
You’re nowhere to be
Nowhere, you’re nowhere
You’re nowhere to see
To see

There’s nothing left to do
There’s nothing left to feel
Doesn’t matter what you want, so
You!

To make yourself feel better
You make it so you’ll never
Give in to your forevers
And live for always

And forever, forever
You’re forever to be
Forever, forever
You’re forever to me
To me

You!
–Smashing Pumpkins, “Jellybelly”–

Sexual immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness or foolish talk, or vulgar joking, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
–Ephesians 5:3-4 (NASB)–

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

Her steps take hold on Hell.
–Proverbs 5:5 (KJV)–

And if a ship meets your car
You know you can’t go real far
Well they could treat you real nice
Or put a tracking device
Way down inside

I’m checking out inventions
At the UFO convention tonight
Planes above the Hilton make it sunny
Brought my money tonight
Blue blond ladies of abduction
Strumming guitars of instruction delight
A lot of wannabe truckers

I’ve got my hands on some sights
Electric glasses with lights
They got me feeling deluxe
For just a couple of bucks
Way down inside

I’m getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like soul records to me
They’re waving hi from some gazebo
Waving on to Arecibo to me
Getting patterns from a trekker
Sounds like soul records to me
Patterns from a trekker
Sounds Desmond Dekker to me

Sleep machine
In your silo
Transmarine
Things you’ve never seen

Parry the wind high, low
–Frank Black, “Parry The Wind High, Low”–

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
–Genesis 6:4 (KJV)–

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
–Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)–

Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
–2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJV)–

Always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, worthless in regard to the faith.
–2 Timothy 3:7-8 (NASB)–

181. This wall then which I have mentioned is as it were a cuirass for the town, and another wall runs round within it, not much weaker for defence than the first but enclosing a smaller space. And in each division of the city was a building in the midst, in the one the king’s palace of great extent and strongly fortified round, and in the other the temple of Zeus Belos with bronze gates, and this exists still up to my time and measures two furlongs each way, being of a square shape: and in the midst of the temple is built a solid tower measuring a furlong both in length and in breadth, and on this tower another tower has been erected, and another again upon this, and so on up to the number of eight towers. An ascent to these has been built running outside round about all the towers; and when one reaches about the middle of the ascent one finds a stopping-place and seats to rest upon, on which those who ascend sit down and rest: and on the top of the last tower there is a large cell, and in the cell a large couch is laid, well covered, and by it is placed a golden table: and there is no image there set up nor does any human being spend the night there except only one woman of the natives of the place, whomsoever the god shall choose from all the woman, as say the Chaldeans who are the priests of this god.

182. These same men say also, but I do not believe them, that the god himself comes often to the cell and rests upon the couch, as happens likewise in the Egyptian Thebes according to the report of the Egyptians, for there also a woman sleeps in the temple of the Theban Zeus (and both these women are said to abstain from commerce with men), and as happens also with the prophetess of the god in Patara of Lykia, whenever there is one, for there is not always an Oracle there, but whenever there is one, then she is shut up during the nights in the temple within the cell. –Herodotus, Histories 1.181-182

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.

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.
