The Prepared Life: Walking in Purity
by Ernest Easley
As we continue our study through the New Testament book of 1st Thessalonians, join me in the 4th chapter. You will remember that every chapter concludes with a statement about the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 1:10, ''and to wait for His Son from heaven whom He raised from the dead...''Chapter 2:19, ''For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? It is not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?'' Chapter 3:13, ''So that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our god and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.''Now knowing that...
The Case for Moral Purity
by Adrian Rogers
We want to speak to you on this subject, ''The Case for Moral Purity,'' and I'm beginning our reading in First Corinthians chapter 6 verse 9. ''Know ye not that the righteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,'' here he refers to homosexuality, ''nor thieves, not covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you, but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God.'' And then...
Proverbial Purity (7 of 11)
by Zach Terry
One of the major themes in the book of Proverbs is developing a strong defensive strategy for your marriage. CONTEXT: Keep in mind that the writer is Solomon. King Solomon was deemed by God the wisest man ever to live. Song of Solomon - Last year we saw Solomon and the Shulamite as young adults with an incredible, rich, fulfilling marriage. As a matter of fact we said it was the closest thing the bible gives us to a Genesis 2 the scenario Adam and Eve enjoyed prior to the fall. It was an incredible relationship. Ecclesiastes - Later this year we will see Solomon at the end of his life - battling depression, wrecked by sin...
Revive My Purity (3 of 4)
by Frank Damazio
Introduction: Josaiah was the fifteenth king of Judah, a young boy-king who left his mark on his generation. 2 Kings 23:25 says, ''Now before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him did any arise like him.'' His name means ''supported of Yahweh.'' He had four sons, two of which followed him as the next kings of Judah: Shallum under the name of Jehoahaz and Eliakim under the name Jehoiakim. 1 Kings 13:1-2 states, ''And behold, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel by the word of the Lord, and Jeroboam stood...
Blessed Are the Pure in Heart (6 of 8)
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: As we pick up our study of the Beatitudes, we come to lesson number six, or the 6th blessing: ''Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.'' With that, let us consider our main two points: I. BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART A. A special people 1. Who are the people Jesus is referring to? Who are the ''pure in heart''? They are a select group-a special people. Do you mean Jesus has favorites? You bet! Yes, Jesus has favorites. These are the people who have repented of their sins and have received Him as their Savior. Remember, in (4:17), He commanded people to repent. In (4:23), He went throughout the...
Flee Baby Flee (2 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
Years ago I heard a famous radio preacher tell of an experience he had while doing a seminar in a large city. After he had gotten done speaking he returned to his hotel, got on the elevator, and as he touched the button of his floor, a couple of very attractive women got on with him. ''What floor do you need?'' he asked trying to be helpful. Leaning towards him, one of the girls replied, ''I see you're getting off at the 5th floor - that would be just fine with us.'' Flattered, the preacher began to consider just what he was being offered. And as he was telling the story he recalled that at that moment in time he didn't think of ministry, or of his church, or his...
The Power of Purity
by Curt Dodd
''Do what is right and good in the Lord's sight, so that it may go well with you ...''We are living in a confusing time where our culture is at war with the principles of God's Word. At the same time, God's people are living in this land where what is legal is promoted as what is right. Many people believe that the battle that is going on in our land is just one of an emotional rite, a religious rite in knee-jerk reaction to the modernism of the day. The problem is with fanaticism rather than with truth. Today's common agenda is that which would teach us that life began with a chance and that we are all victims of chance. This world teaches...
Distinctly Different: A Plea For Personal Purity
by Miles Seaborn
''Finally then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you have received instructions from us as to how you must behave to please God, even so you do behave, that you may go on from more to more. For you know what orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus: for this is God's will for you, that you should live a consecrated life. I mean, each of you keep yourself from fornication, that each of you should know how to possess his own body in consecration and in honor, not in the passion of lustful desire, like the Gentiles who do not know God, that in this kind of thing you should not transgress against your brother...
Pure Love - True Love (3 of 20)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: I have been told that some have been waiting for this night ever since I began my ''through the Bible series.'' Some of you have been wondering what I will do with the Song of Solomon. Any of you familiar with the Bible know what I am talking about. The Song of Solomon or Song of Songs or Canticles, the Latin title, is unique among the sixty-six books of the Bible. Ultimately the book is about the committed love and physical attraction between a husband and wife.To better appreciate this theme I thought it might be good to begin by considering some alternatives to the loving, romantic relationship between the Lover...
Get a Grip - Purity (2 of 6)
by Rich Wooten
As you walked in tonight, you should have received a glass bead. Purity is a very big subject to tackle in one evening. There are so many avenues to discuss, so many variations on the theme to consider. One trail will lead to another, and we may find ourselves far away from the heart of the matter. So, some foundation work: Purity itself, as a concept, is not limited to one activity or behavior. It has ramifications throughout the dynamic of human behavior. There is a drive for purity in many areas of experience: pure ideals pure driving experience pure expressions of government pure water So, purity is not limited to a Christian concept or ideal. But the...
Prejudice To Purity
by Dr. Ed Young
Open your Bibles, if you would to John's Gospel. We've been looking atthe Apostles. This morning I read from John, chapter number 1, beginning with verse 44 and reading to the end of the chapter. John 1:44 -51.Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrewand Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ''We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, also the prophets, wrote -Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.'' And Nathanael said to him, ''Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?'' Philip said to him, ''Come and see.'' Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, ''Behold, an Israelite indeed...
Living Purity
by John Barnett
The city of Thessalonica is a thriving city - the second largest in Greece today. In Paul's day that meant lots of temptations for the eyes, the mind, and the flesh. What did he prescribe? Abstinence from anything that feeds the lust. What would he say to us in the 21st century? The same thing! Flee, avoid, and run from anything that will infect your soul with the deadly lust virus. It grows and consumes our flesh like the most deadly cancer - only lust attacks the soul, defiles the spirit and robs the life of joy. Listen to Dr. Paul as he tells us how to get and stay spiritually healthy. I.PLEASE GOD BY YOUR CONDUCT. V. 1A.First - holy living is not an...
Purity Of Heart And Speech
by Jesse Hendley
I want to read to you the words of Mary, the mother of Jesus, as found in John 2:5, at the wedding feast, when she said to the servants, ''Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.''I want to call your attention, to that word ''whatsoever.'' WHATEVER our Lord says to do, we are to do it. Today we are discussing some of the things Jesus told us to do. One of the things that the Lord Jesus Christ said was that we are to RENOUNCE SELF. We are to renounce ourselves. The thing that hinders most of us is that we have never been crucified. We don't know what it means to live the crucified life. I was talking to a preacher one time about...
How to Pray for Purity (16 of 35)
by John Barnett
Praying for Their Purity Did you know what Jesus prayed for you and me as He walked towards Gethsemane, with His eyes lifted toward His Father in Heaven? He was praying for our sanctification. Jesus was praying that the Word of God, through the Spirit of God, would transform the daily lives of the Children of God. That's us folks. Listen to His prayer -John 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. Jesus prayed for holy living in us who would live in the future. He knew how bad it would be. Jesus spoke of terrible days ahead for this world. He sent His beloved John on a journey ahead in time to see that Tribulation. The character...
The Purity of Brotherly Love (7 of 10)
by Donald Cantrell
Philemon 1:15-17 (KJV) 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.In the city of Philadelphia; one of the most, iconic symbols of our national heritage ''The Liberty Bell'' hangs magnificently in the city of brotherly love. In 1751, the Pennsylvania Assembly ordered the bell to commemorate the commonwealth's fiftieth anniversary of William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges. Penn...
Sexual Purity Is For Prudes And Losers (6 of 8)
by Chris Brown
1. Maintaining sexual purity can be a significant challenge - especially in our sexually charged culture. The Enemy would love for us to think sexual purity is impossible or no big deal - but fortunately God hasn't left us as prisoners to ourselves or our environment. What motivation and steps does 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 give us to combat this challenge? What are some specific situations or places you may need to ''avoid'' in order to prevent temptation and help you maintain sexual purity? 2. King David found himself humbled and broken after being confronted by a friend and realizing he too had bought into the lie that sexual purity...

Growing Up in Our Commitment to Sexual Purity (9 of 12)
by Rick White
Introduction: Clay Shiver: No Thanks, Playmates Florida State University's sports information department had big news for Clay Shiver early this year [1995]: Playboy magazine had selected him for its preseason All-America football team. But quicker than he snaps the ball, the 6-foot-2, 280-pound center said, "No thanks." "I couldn't see any good coming from being in the magazine," says Shiver, who has his eyes on the pros after graduation. "My mind was made up before it was offered to me." The FSU business major adds: "It's almost funny how God works these things out even before we're faced with them." That's how it happened for...

Purity (5 of 5)
by Jason Dees
Our Scripture Reading for Today 9 “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”The Word of the Lord We have been studying the Lord’s Prayer for five weeks but in a particular way, we have been looking at the virtue that this prayer produces in us.
