Sexual Purity: The Joy of Moral Freedom

Just got back a little bit ago from our women's Bible study, where we're discussing Nancy Leigh DeMoss's DVD and book Seeking Him.
 
This evening's topic was Sexual Purity: The Joy of Moral Freedom.

We stayed overtime with some good discussion going on. Why sexual purity in an age gone wild?
Staying sexually pure, or committing to moral purity, can be a big step toward personal revival, deep joy, and true freedom. ~ Nancy Leigh DeMoss

The God who created us knows what we need to avoid.
"For this is the will of God, your sanctification: 
that you abstain from sexual immorality." 
(I Thessalonians 4:3) 

Some of the principles we discussed:
  1. Recognize your potential for moral failure.
  2. Realize that you don't have to give in.
  3. Resolve to be pure.
  4. Remove all bitterness.
  5. Restrain your fleshly desires.
  6. Reject anything that could lead you into moral bondage.
  7. Run from every form of evil.
  8. Renew your mind with the Word of God.
  9. Recruit help.
10. Remember the consequences.
11. Refuse to remain in defeat and depression.
12. Rely on the Holy Spirit.  
If you'd like to hear Nancy discuss sexual purity, and why it's important to your own happiness, you can listen in here.

Seeking Him

https://www.reviveourhearts.com/radio/revive-our-hearts/are-you-desperate-1/
We're using the study guide Seeking Him by Nancy Leigh DeMoss to guide our thoughts in our women's Bible study. We had good discussions this evening on obedience to God's Word. I had gone through this study a few years ago when I was in a dry season and was desperately seeking to know God better. I was thirsty for Him, and He used this study to draw me closer to Himself. 

Nancy also has this series online that she presented some time back when the study was introduced. If you'd like to listen in, click on the book image and it will take you to the Revive Our Hearts website. I think you'll be blessed if you have opportunity to follow along.

Sharing a quote from today's lesson:
God is God. Because He is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will, a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.

~ Elisabeth Elliot
