Victorious Secrets
Ephesians 5:3-14
August 1, 2010
Ryan Heller
Walking in the light is the most difficult aspect of the Christian life. In order to do so I need a strategy to help me succeed.
1) Choose Your Friends Wisely
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. Ephesians 5:6-7 (NIV)
2) Give Thanks
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
Ephesians 5:4 (NIV)
Thanking God rides us of selfishness. It changes our focus.
3) Don’t compromise your convictions
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
Ephesians 5:3-4 (NIV)
