Scripture: "Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!" (6:15)
Observation: I think this verse is intended to be a stark contrast with the freedom that we have in Christ, as alluded to in verse 12. If the church in Corinth argues that "I have the right to do anything", Paul shows them the consequences of their actions.
Application: I am a part of the church, which is the body of Christ, and when I yield to sin I disgrace the church and Christ himself. To the one who is due all glory and honor, I bring dishonor and shame. With freedom comes responsibility.
Prayer: Father God, please fill me with Your Spirit so that I can reflect Your light and Your glory into the lives around me. And give me the strength to live my life as a witness and not as a disgrace to your church.
