We only do regularly

Therefore–we need accountability!

C. S. Lewis
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

Speak, O Lord
A wonderful song to help us prepare for our time with God in His Word (privately or corporately). It serves as a reminder that we need to hear and act on the truths of God’s authoritative Word. We never should approach the Word simply to accumulate knowledge or even just for answers for others. The Word is always to lead to the transformation of our lives—leading to impact on our circle of influence.

Using Proverbs 5, he identifies six biblical strategies that will ensure sexual purity:
- Undertake the pursuit of biblical instruction (Prov. 5:1-2).
- Undress the deception of sexual sin (Prov. 5:3-6).
- Understand the value of safe distance (Prov. 5:7-8).
- Unmask the regret of sin’s aftermath (Prov. 5:9-14).
- Unlock the satisfaction of marital fidelity or intimacy (Prov. 5:15-19).
- Unleash the power of God’s omniscience (Prov. 5:20-23).
You can also read a manuscript below from an earlier version. The Resolved message was different, but the general outline is the same:
