Center Your Life
on God.
“They
shall eat, but not be satisfied;
they
shall play the whore, but not multiply,
because
they have forsaken the Lord
to
cherish 11 whoredom, wine, and new wine,
which
take away the understanding.”
Hosea
3:10-11

Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces….”

Be Holy
“For
the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do,
living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and
lawless idolatry. 4 With respect to this they are surprised
when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign
you….”

Peter 4:3-4
“Keep
your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against
you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day
of visitation.”
