LIVING A MORAL LIFE

LIVING A MORAL LIFE


What KIND of life
ARE you living?
Are you living a
Sexually active life
OUTSIDE of the guidelines
Of marriage?


“For God does NOT call us
To IMPURITY-
But to HOLINESS” 1 Thessalonians 4:7


The pagan culture
In which the Greek culture lived
Had LITTLE REGARD for chastity


So the community
That Paul had-had to be REMINDED
That they were called
To LIVE a COUNTER-CULTURAL LIFE


They were NOT called
To live an ACTIVE-
Sexually promiscuous life
But ONE OF HOLINESS


Living a HOLY LIFE
Living a MORAL life
With INTEGRITY


“May INTEGRITY and UPRIGHTNESS
PROTECT ME


Because MY HOPE-Lord-
Is in you” Psalm 25:21


“Righteousness-
GUARDS the person of INTEGRITY


But wickedness-
Overthrows the sinner” Proverbs 13:6


“Now this is OUR BOAST
Our CONSCIENCE TESTIFIES
That we have conducted ourselves


In the world
With INTEGRITY and godly sincerity” 2 Corinthians 1:12


It is NOT EASY
To live with chastity-integrity-
Sexual PURITY=and HOLINESS
In this 21^st century


To LIVE the
COUNTER-CULTURAL LIFE


When NO ONE ELSE
Is doing it
There is LITTLE SUPPORT
For this type of life
In our CONTEMPORARY CULTURE


Yet we are CALLED by God
CALLED by Jesus
To live a MORAL LIFE
FILLED with integrity and holiness


“ASCRIBE to the Lord
The GLORY due
His name


WORSHIP the Lord
In the splendor
Of his HOLINESS” Psalm 29:2


“It is because of him
That you ARE Christ Jesus
Who has BECOME for us
WISDOM from God-


That is-our righteousness-
Holiness-and REDEMPTION” 1 Corinthians 1:30


I have had the PRIVILEGE
Of KNOWING some young adults
Who LIVE COUNTER-CULTURALLY


They really want to LIVE CHASTELY
They really want to LIVE
With MORALITY and INTEGRITY


They PRAY REGULARLY-refrain
From pornography-
And they SEEK OUT OTHER
Young adults-who SHARE THEIR VALUES


So WHOEVER you are=
Whatever AGE you are=live the
MORAL LIFE
Live the life/a life
Of HOLINESS and INTEGRITY


BE AN EXAMPLE=
And BLESS this world
With YOUR PRESENCE


In the NAME of Jesus OUR LORD-
And his MOST HEAVENLY FATHER
