Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [7] 05/02/2026 {Morning thought}

Romans 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of.

Joseph refused: Women are to dress themselves in such a manner so as not to destabilize men, and the dudes are to be decently clad at all times, and in all places. Just because you are heading to the beach, or to some wedding, doesn’t mean to say that you should let it all hang out. Decorum and prudence will form a sort of bulwark against those intrusions which too often lead to a rendezvous. God is a Spirit, and thus, both sexes are to avoid inviting temptation, as far as possible.

[Testimonies Vol. 5 pp 595] Men who are doing God’s work, and who have Christ abiding in their hearts will not lower the standard of morality, but will ever seek to elevate it. They will not find pleasure in the flattery of women or in being petted by them. Let men, both single and married, say: “Hands off! I will never give the least occasion that my good shall be evil spoken of. My good name is capital of far more value to me than gold or silver. Let me preserve it untarnished.

Allow no one to praise or flatter you, or to cling to your hand as if loath to let it go. Be afraid of every such demonstration… Joseph refused: This section is addressed to brother so and so, and sister so and so. It does not have to be evil, it just has to look like if it’s evil, and if it appears to be so, both women and men must avoid it as far as possible. Joseph refused the first appearance of evil by not flirting with Mrs. Potiphar. It’s a fact that people have the tendency to draw conclusions, that’s just how folks are.

1st Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Genesis 39:8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master knows not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand.

There are sexual allegations, and misconducts which have occurred in the work place. Joseph did not put himself in a compromised position voluntarily, as is too often the case. He was only going to work, and minding his own business, when these unsolicited advances began to come from the most unlikely source. Both male and female employees of a company may find themselves the targets of sexual harassment.

It may come from a boss who wields authority, to hire and fire those who like Joseph, would not comply. It may come from fellow employees who have a crush on you for some reason. And just like Joseph, the harassment might occur on a daily basis, to try and break your morale. Satan is a determined foe and if he sees you trying to do the right thing, he will often make matters much worse by persistent attacks.

This applies to both male, and female workers, because the devil is no respecter of persons. There is much commentary to be made concerning this singular statement: Joseph refused. Question: How did Joseph refuse? The answers are many and varied, and cover a wide spectrum of activities that can determine what the outcome will be. Both men and women must avoid flirting with each other, and like Joseph, both males, and females are to carry about themselves in a manner that would not induce evil thoughts and desires in the opposite sex.

1st Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
