Minimax your chores

Why are Christians so concerned about sex?
When English interpretations of the New Testament talk about ‘sexual immorality’ they are really translating the Greek word porneia (πορνεία), it’s used almost every time the topic of sex comes up and often when talking about the worst sins in general.

Marriage D.C. - Because Our Marriage Was Once Illegal, Too!
