Pursue Purity

We are not to act like non-Christians. We must pursue purity! The battle is in your mind, heart and conscience....what is the difference between those three? I don't know, it's all one in the same I guess.

You must battle sin alone in your mind. No one can do it for you. No one can help you with it other than Christ.

A pilot was flying a commercial jet in the fog (South America I think it was). Suddenly the computer begins warning "Pull up, pull up!" The last words on the flight recorder were "Shut up gringo!" The pilot disregarded the warning assuming it was wrong, because in him mind he was sure of himself.

Our conscience yells to us, "Pull up, pull up!" Do you immediately change course at first warning, or do you push the reset button saying "Shut up gringo."

When your life crashes, would you wonder why? Would you get angry at God or angry at others, blaming your wreck of a life on others?

Let's keep it real, you ignored your conscience and built yourself up to be wise. In your "wisdom" you became a fool!

Now not only in sin, but also in faith.....do not let your false wisdom prove your foolishness on the day you stand before God!

Let your mind be filled with the Word of God, read your Bible....please read your Bible! Who knows what mountain is in the fog just ahead. Make sure you are equipped for life and saved from death!

I used to think I should be your warning system. Maybe I have heard "Shut up gringo!" too many times, because I don't warn you as I once did. There are some in great danger and do not know it. I don't say anything but that doesn't mean the danger has gone away.

Please read your Bible....Please read your Bible! Pull Up! Pull Up!

Then after you have been saved from the danger that awaits unforgiven sinners, pursue purity.

Listen to your conscience. The believer has a conscience that is even more sensitive than it was before faith. Listen to it! It will keep you from sin.

Pray for your weaknesses, the Lord wants to strengthen you.

Thank God for the things He has saved us from, we probably don't even know how much He has protected us.

Let's work and pursue purity and let our lives be a sun beam to the world. May we be examples of the goodness and holiness of Christ. Not to earn heaven, not to be self-righteous, not to get any kind of favor or applause from the world, but only because we love the Lord and want to be like Him and hope He will use our lives to draw others to Himself.
