All things are lawful, but not all things are beneficial

Flee Sexual Immorality

¹² “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.

— 1 Corinthians 6

Do All to the Glory of God

²³ “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.

— 1 Corinthians 10

ANR doesn’t always move you closer to God. An ANR in marriage is beautiful, but don’t let it own you, especially if you’re single.

A little “harmless” ANR research can kill you. Seriously.

It only takes a one-degree variation from course for a ship to land on the wrong continent.

If left unchecked, your “innocent” straying will end up in sexual sin or death.

Let your compass always point true north. Fight sexual sin every time. Don’t give in to it for a moment. Always let your moral compass point to Jesus Christ.
