A Plea for Purity | Part 8

Passage: Proverbs 5:1-23

Preacher: Travis Fleming

Series:Proverbs

Detail:

The Bible speaks openly and honestly about the dangers of sexual immorality and the delight that comes when we submit ourselves to the principles of biblical sexuality.  And for us to do so requires...

1.  Exposing the lies immorality promises.
     Immorality promises to be...
       A.  Sweet, satisfying, special, and secret.
     But ends up being...
       B. Harmful, heartbreaking, humiliating, and leads to hell.

2.  Avoiding the painful consequences of immorality.
     Requires...
       A.  Recognizing our sinful inclinations.
       B.  Reining in our unbridled imagination.
       C.  Refraining from compromising situations.
       D.  Restraining what we share in conversation.
       E.  Realizing there are deadly and definite ramifications.
     When all else fails, don't wait; take off...
       F.  Running from the temptation!

3.  Discovering the pathway to purity.
     Requires...
       A.  Guarding the marriage bed.
       B.  Obeying God's commands.
       C.  Dying to ourselves daily.
     It requires GOD to be at the center!
