Adultery At the Theatre

Some time ago, in a theater that was absolutely packed, the movie suddenly stopped the lights came on, and this announcement came on in the theater. The announcement was this: ‘If there is somebody in here with another man’s wife, you better leave quickly, because her husband just ran in the front door with a gun to shoot you.’ Seventeen couples got up and ran out the door! [ laughter ] That would be amusing if it weren’t so tragic! You only may know what you’re doing, and it may be done under the cover of darkness.....that affair may be done secretly.....that underhanded business deal, that cheating, that lie may be done secretly.

You may be one thing in the church and another thing outside of the church. You may be one thing at your home and another thing at business. You may have a beautiful facade that surrounds you, but selfishness and greed and lust may reside in your heart.

But in the judgment, it will be clear. It will be plain, because the record will come up before God in the judgment just as it is.

The Bible says, “O, Lord, You have searched me and you know me.....you are familiar with all my ways.....All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:1,3,16).
