‘The Value Of Counsel And Counsellors.’
Proverbs 15:22.
a) Where there is no counsel and consultation purposes are disappointed.
b) Where there is no counsel and consultation plans are frustrated.
c) Where there are good counsellors purposes and plans are established.
d) Where there are good counsellors purposes and plans succeed.

‘Promises That Keep Us Pure.’
2 Corinthians 6:14 – 7:1.
a) 2 Corinthians 6:14-15. We should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers in covenant relationship, whether it is business or marriage:-
1- There is no fellowship between Righteousness and iniquity.
2- There is no fellowship between light and darkness.
3- There is no harmony between Christ and Belial.
4- There is nothing in common between a True Believer and an unbeliever.
b) 2 Corinthians 6:16. We are the Temple of the Living God:-
1-God lives in us. Promise #1 The Presence of God.
2-God walks in us.
3-God is our God.
5- We are God’s People.
c) 2 Corinthians 6:17. The Lord says:-
1- Come out from their midst.
2- Be separate.
3- Do not touch what is unclean.
4- Promise #2 He will Receive and Welcome us.
d) 2 Corinthians 6:18. Promise #3 The Lord Almighty says that God will be a Father to us and we will be His Sons and Daughters. The Promise of His Fatherhood.
e) 2 Corinthians 7:1. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting Holiness in the fear of God.

Chris.
The Word of God is very clear that we should not touch that which is unclean. Any kind of physical relationship that involves physical uncleanness is sin and needs to be repented of. This cannot be just ignored – we have to deal with it personally in front of God. Ultimately we are responsible, as adults, to Him. If we do not know how to handle our situation then we should be able to talk to shepherds or counsellors that we trust.
