Bro Rodney Stephens - Defraud not / Brotherly Love

I Thessalonians 4: when the church is warned against fornication (including adultery, incest, etc.), we are also warned of the danger and the likelihood of defrauding our brother. We must have such a love for others that we avoid all appearance of sin against them. To cross the line of the sacred institution of marriage and family (even in an insinuating way) is almost unforgivable for a person. We all are family and we should treat each other with that kind of respect. I have said in times past, "keep your eyes on your on paper." We used to hear the teachers say this during tests. When you are being tested (tempted) recognize it as such and run the other way with all your might. Don't entertain those thoughts in any way at any level. The feelings and cares we have for one another should be cultivated in love - understanding that the respect that is deserved for someone is also a sacred thing.
