Sexual immorality might occur for many different reasons: erotic pleasure, financial advantage, revenge on a spouse or parent, fear of saying no to an authority, pursuit of approval, enjoyment of power over another’s sexual response, the quest for social status or career advancement, pity for someone and playing the savior, fear of losing a potential marriage partner, escape from boredom, peer pressure, and so forth.

WHILE MEN SLEPT
by J. Randal Matheny

While men slept, the tireless enemy stole
Into the field and sowed their secret tares
Among the grain, their long-range evil goal
To blur the lines of justice, unawares.
And still they'd sow their blight, in open view,
And only wakeful fasting and faithful prayers
Can keep the churches safe and the gospel true.
