Key Passage of Scripture

Hey all,

This is a reminder about our key passage of scripture for our Sex and Dating talks for these next three weeks:

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

"Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him.

The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit."

Read it over a few times. Let it sink in. Meditate on it. Allow God to speak into your life and transform how you intend to live.

I'll see you all next week!

In His Grip,

Patrick
