	Just another thought: why do you suppose this is such a focus? It's 
because sexual sins are some of the ones humans have the hardest time 
standing against. Consider David and Bathsheba. Not only did he fall to 
his lusts, but he also then realized the need to cover it up and 
committed murder to compound his existing sin.

	We are constantly bombarded with temptation in this department. 
Everywhere. Turn on the TV, on the radio, billboards, newspaper ads. 
Homosexual or heterosexual promiscuity is encouraged by today's 
society. Thus, the frequency of need to deal with the issues 
surrounding this are much greater than, for example, the need for the 
church to speak out against murder ("everyone" already knows that 
murder is wrong and the great majority in our society are accepting of 
that). Dishonest is also looked down upon in most parts of society, for 
example.
