It is not breaking news that the world we live in is saturated with sexual immorality.  Sadly the world has crept in through the crevices of the church and it seems that not only is the church accepting the unbiblical teaching of the world but it is practicing the very same things.  Paul in our passage pleads with the Thessalonian believers to abound in the things of Christ and to instead depend on the strength and the power of the Holy Spirit to help them with the flesh and their weakness.
