The response to yesterday's message reminds me why I love Parkway church so much. Yesterday, my message was was an in your face, no holds barred, challenge to live a life of purity before God and with people. When you swing as hard as I did with the message, sometimes people take offense with the truth and want to swing back. This is not the case at Parkway. Parkway is a church that welcomes frank talks with a clear challenge from Scripture. Parkway is a church that doesn't pull back from even the touchiest of subjects and I am so thankful for this. My prayer for the church today is that we would live the truth as quickly as we accept the truth.Now, for somethings that I wish I said....
- Purity is a relationship goal that can be chased by married and single adults alike.
- The standard of purity isn't set by our wants and desires, but by the Word of God.
- To be people of purity, we need the grace of God active in our lives.
- The Holy Spirit of God will empower us to honor God with our lives.
- Sin kept in secret will destroy us. Freedom found when sin is brought into the light.
- If you are struggling, you are not alone.
- Don't stay in an unhealthy relationship out of fear of what others will say, think or do. Remember the truth from Hebrews 13: What can mere mortals do to you. God is your helper!
