Pursuing Purity


Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God.
-1 Thessalonians 4:1 (NLT)

20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness…21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
-Isaiah 5:20-21 (NIV)

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit…Therefore honor God with your body.”
-1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (NIV 84)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
-2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV 84)

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
* -Ephesians 4:1 (NIV 84)*
