是順從喜好,還是持守信仰?(二)

在道德的純淨上建立自己的信仰

1.下定決心在身體上保持純淨,選擇上帝的旨意。

2.在心理上保持純淨,不要把骯髒的東西裝到腦子裡去。

在倫理上建立信仰

1.如果我們錯了,那我們需要承認。不要再找藉口,也不要再說謊。

2.順從喜好是為了圖方便,而持守信仰則意味著要犧牲。

在屬靈的方面建立信仰

如果我們沒有每天和上帝親近,沒有奉獻該奉獻的錢數,沒有誠心誠意的去教會聚會,那麼我們就選擇了順從自己的喜好,而沒有持守自己的信仰。

結語

斯坦利講述了他太太上大學時短暫模特生涯的故事。當讓她穿有性挑逗的衣服時,她拒絕了。因為她在乎的是:上帝是怎麼想的。

Conviction VS. Preference(II)

Develop Convictions in the Area of Moral Purity

1. Make up your mind in the area of physical purity, choose God’s will for you.

2. In the area of mental purity, it is wrong to put filth into minds.

Develop Convictions in the Area of Ethics

1. If we’re wrong, we need to admit it—no more excuses and lying.

2. Preference is oriented toward convenience, and conviction is oriented toward sacrifice.

Develop Convictions in the Area of Spirituality

If we aren’t spending daily time with God, tithing the correct amount, and attending church faithfully, we are choosing to follow our preferences rather than our convictions.

Conclusion

Stanley tells the story of his wife’s brief modeling career in college, which ended when she was asked to wear a suggestive costume and refused, since she cared what God thought.
