God Calls For Purity And Holy Living!

 

Our culture’s views on sex are

 “going down.”

Any sense of morality is being

 “”stomped to the ground.”

 

Though sexual temptations come

in a “variety..”

God’s word calls everyone to seek

sexually purity.

 

1 Corinthians 6:9 speaks of  

several sins…

God provides complete victory

over sexual sin.

 

As people struggle with sin ,

they stumble…

When they twist God’s words of truth,

 they’re in trouble.

 

Let’s not twist God’s holiness

with sins of the flesh.

Serving God from a wholesome life

 is always the BEST!

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 

Or do you not know that the unrighteous[a] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[b10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
