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.
