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 21st 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
