Idolatry comes in many forms – 1 Cor 10:7-8
Vs 7 – Do not be idolaters as some of the people were. They made a golden calf and then got involved in a drunken orgy. Idolatry can come in many forms. Money, possessions, fame, popularity and pride. It leads always to the same place destruction and spiritual death.
Vs 8 – Paul then draws an up to date truth for his readers. Do not be like them and commit sexual immorality. The Corinthians lived in a very immoral city and could very easily fall into sexual sin. The result of the Israel’s sin was that 23,000 of them died that day in the desert. Sexual sin always leads to spiritual and moral death. Be like Joseph and run away when tempted. No matter what you face put your trust in the Lord and see His victory when you put your trust in Him.
