Monday, February 10 A prostitute is a deep pit.—Prov. 23:27. An improper romantic relationship could develop at your place of employment. In fact, a secular study revealed that more than half of adulterous women and nearly 3 out of 4 adulterous men had illicit relations with a workmate. Does your secular work require that you associate with members of the opposite sex? If so, what is the nature of your relationship with them? Do you have boundaries in place that keep it professional and that do not allow it to become something more? For example, a Christian sister might make a male coworker her confidant, even telling him about her marital problems. In another situation, after becoming friendly with a female coworker, a Christian man might reason: “She values my opinion and really listens when I talk to her. And she appreciates me. I wish I got more of this kind of treatment at home!†Can you see how Christians in such situations could be vulnerable to committing adultery? w12 8/15 4:11, 12
Hi All: Really! That is the insight that goes along with that scripture? Seems like a total disconnect to me. frank
I think the point is basically "adultery (getting a prostitute) is a deep pit" of despair. The workplace is the likely 'sink-hole' leading to adultery, as the stats show. Tenuous perhaps; but certainly true. Actually, it would probably be better to purchase a prostitute than 'cheat' with someone at work! I don't recall the scripture, but Proverbs eludes to this directly.
