slaughter right now Proverbs 6.32 He who commits adultery lacks sense. He who does it destroys himself. You do not realize how dumb you are right now. you're walking to your death and convincing yourself it's good. Run, run. This is the gracious word of God to you today. Don't rationalize, run. Don't flirt with it, flee. Now, back here in Matthew 19, notice that Jesus does not say that when adultery occurs, divorce is certain or required. Instead, Jesus says divorce is possible in this situation. So you might think, it sounds like Jesus was lining up with that first school of thought among first century Jews, but the reality is they would have seen divorce as certain in cases of sexual immorality, adultery. But this is where we begin to see implications of the gospel for divorce in Scripture because Jesus is approaching the possibility of divorce in a redemptive manner with a totally different perspective than the Pharisees. They were searching for circumstances in which it would be possible for them to divorce. …
… That's what he's saying. Her house is the way to hell descending to the chambers of death. But boy, I hear wisdom. saying, if you come to me in Jesus' wisdom, If you'll embrace me, I have a plan. I have a future. I have opportunities. I have favor. I have destiny. I have generations. but you have to RSVP. You have to make a decision. You have to choose life or death like I preached last week. Man, y'all probably wish I would have stayed on vacation. I come back and preached on hell and heaven last week and now I'm preaching this. I think y'all backslid while I was gone and the Lord wants me to have massive repentance services or something. But seriously, I mean... Kids are going back to school and the peer pressure's on and everybody's doing it and the enemy's sending out his invitations to the parties. It's going to take some young people who will grab wisdom and embrace her and say, I believe, I believe, I believe. …
Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians." O Belshazzar, stop your feasting! Look, the shaft of God! The death-shaft is whizzing through the air! It has pierced his heart—he falls dead—and with him great Babylon falls! That feast was a feast of death! It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of such "feasting" as that! Here is a melancholy proof of the assertion I made, that most of the terrible calamities that have ever happened to men have happened in "the house of feasting." Here is another house. I have read your record, O mistress of the house! I say, Woman, I have read your record and it is enough for me—I need not cross your threshold! I do not want to see your magnificent temple. I never wish to sit in your splendid halls. Rather would I sleep nightly in my shroud and sit on my coffin—and have my gravestone in the wall of my study and live in a vault forever—than I would enter that "house of feasting." O God, may I be kept from sinful mirth! May I be kept from the house of sinful feasting! May I never be tempted to cross that threshold! O young men who are enchanted by its gaiety, charmed by its music, stay away, stay away, for every plank in the floor is rotten, every stone that is there is dug from the quarries of Hell! And if you enter into that woman's mansion, you shall find that her house is the way to Hell, going down to the chambers of death! "It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting"—the house of sinful feasting. …
