2 1 Tim. 4:12b- Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. Vs. 15- Give your complete attention to these matters. Jesus satisfies me. Logically. Emotionally. Spiritually. I’ve never found a better belief system; I’ve never found a better friend.

3 David- not where he was supposed to be… or with Godly men. 2 Sam. 11 David is in the wrong place- lusting begins Lusting leads to sin- adultery. David deceives Joab and Uriah… trying th cover his sin… David get Uriah drunk. But even then he couldn’t get Uriah to go home to his wife. David orders Uriah’s death… in battle. We all believe we will be the exception… Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (KJV)

4 In the center of Holiness… Or on the edge of sin… HOLINESS SIN HOLINESS 1Pe 1:15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, (RIGHT PLACES, RIGHT PEOPLE, RIGHT TIME)? 2 Pet. 3:17+18 I am warning you …(WRONG PLACE, PEOPLE, TIME?)

But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.

6 In the center of Holiness… Or on the edge of sin… HOLINESS Be Careful: SIN Gal. 6:1 Dear brothers and sisters, if another Christian is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.
