Moving ahead of this Sunday's sermon:
I Thessalonians 4:1-12
v. 1-5 (tells us to live to please God)
* be sanctified
* avoid sexual immorality
* control your body in a way that is holy-not in lust
v.8 (When you do not do the above; it is not against your parents, grandparents, friends, youth leader, pastor, boss.............rather it's against God.)
v.11 (Life Ambition should be....)
* lead a quiet life
* mind your own business
* work with your hands to win respect with outsiders and so that you do not depend on others
It felt great to get into the Word tonight, and of course I love it when it's easy to put into simple terms. I can see that I need to live to please God through sanctification, avoiding sexual immorality, and controlling my body. My life's ambition comes with living a quiet life, minding my own business, and working with my hands to provide for me and my family.
