Bible is greatest moral code known to mankind. The Iron Rule The Silver Rule The Golden Rule

Bible is greatest moral code known to mankind. ISAIAH 50:21 These things you have done and I kept silence; You thought that I was just like you; I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.

God’s People Cannot Allow World To Set Their Standard 2 Cor. 6: Isaiah 55: John 2: James 4:4. GOD’S STANDARD

Rom. 6:6-7. John 15: Rom. 12:1-2. Eph. 4: Tim. 6: Our Attitude Toward The World Determines Our Relationship To It DEAD TO IT DON’T CONFORM TO IT LAY IT ASIDE R-U-N!

Dress for Success? “Success” in What? Godliness, or, The World? 9 Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.. 1 Timothy 2:9-10

Dress for Success? “Success” in What? Godliness, or, The World? In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety “Shamefastness” – ASV. Bashfulness, regard for others. Good sense, (Gingrich, Vines). 1 Timothy 2:9-10

Dress for Success? “Success” in What? Godliness, or, The World? Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall… Jeremiah 6:15

1 Peter 3:2-4 2 as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. 3 Your adornment must not be merely external -- braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; 4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

Romans 13: Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. “Sensuality” vs. Spirituality.

THE WORKS OF THE FLESH - Gal. 5:19-21 But when you follow your own inclination your lives will produce these evil results: impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry; hatred and fighting; jealousy and anger; constant effort to get the best for yourself; complaints and criticisms; the feeling that everyone else is wrong except those in your own little group; there will be wrong doctrine; envy, murder, drunkenness, wild parties and all that sort of thing. Let me tell you again as I have told you before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the kingdom of God. (THE PARAPHRASED EPISTLES).

Works of the flesh result from base and evil thoughts which are acted out and cause our minds and bodies to become instruments of Satan. Rom. 7:17 – Being controlled by sinful passions. Many moral challenges to 21 st cent. Christian. But “nothing new under the sun.” Must Recognize Worldliness Our Attitude Toward The World Determines Our Relationship To It

Joseph. Gen. 39:7-12. Queen Vashti. Esther 1: Daniel. Dan. 1:8. Job. Job 31:1. Moral Champions in the Bible Our Attitude Toward The World Determines Our Relationship To It

Psalm 139 Psalm 139 (TEV) 1 Lord, you have examined me and you know me. 2 You know everything I do; from far away you understand all my thoughts. 3 You see me, whether I am working or resting; you know all my actions. 4 Even before I speak, you already know what I will say.

Psalm 139 Psalm 139 (NLT) 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

2 Cor. 10:3-5 "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds…. and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ"

The Rich Farmer Luke 12:16-20 Our Attitude Toward The World Determines Our Relationship To It Was NOT immoral. Was NOT unethical. Worked hard for what he had. Put world first. WHAT IS “WORLDLINESS?” Giving Christ second place. Giving God the leftovers!
