Martin Luther's Evening Prayer

I Corinthians 6:12-20 Flee Sexual Sin

Dr. Richard Zeile

Dr. Zeile presents St. Paul's instructions to the Corinthian Church, a seaport notorious for its sex trade. The particular nature of sexual sin, that it affects the body and becomes part of the individual, presenting memories that invite the sinner to repeat, if only in his heart, the sin. Furthermore the ambiguous nature of sin leading to swings from pride to shame is also confusing to those who have no clear understanding of objective moral standards which God, in His mercy, has given to guide those who sincerely want to live right with God and neighbor. Corporate Confession & Absolution, an Act of Adoration, and the hymn "Take My Life and Let it Be Consecrated Lord to Thee" are included in the program, as is the  Lutheran classic, "Jesus Priceless Treasure."
