  foundation stands firm, sealed with this
  inscription The Lord knows those that are
  his, and Everyone who confesses the name of
  the Lord must turn away from wickedness.

• Erwin W. Lutzer

18
I CORINTHIANS 1012-13

• THEREFORE, LET HIM WHO THINKS HE STANDS TAKE HEED
  LEST HE FALL. NO TEMPTATION HAS OVERTAKEN YOU
  EXCEPT SUCH AS COMMON TO MAN BUT GOD IS
  FAITHFUL, WHO WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE TEMPTED
  BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE ABLE, BUT WITH THE TEMPTATION
  WILL ALSO MAKE THE WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YOU MAY BE
  ABLE TO BEAR IT.

19
EXCUSES

  THAT I FACE

  HIS FAITHFULNESS
• 5. GOD NEVER PERMITS ANY TEMPTATION TO GO BEYOND
  WHAT YOU ARE ABLE
• 6. GOD ALWAYS MAKES IN EVERY TEMPTATION THE WAY
  TO ESCAPE

  WILL BE ABLE TO BEAR IT

23
JAMES 113-17

• LET NO ONE SAY WHEN HE IS TEMPTED, I AM TEMPTED
  BY GOD, FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL, NOR
  DOES HE HIMSELF TEMPT ANYONE. BUT EACH ONE IS
  TEMPTED WHEN HE IS DRAWN AWAY BY HIS OWN DESIRES
  AND ENTICED. THEN, WHEN DESIRE HAS CONCEIVED, IT
  GIVES BIRTH TO SIN AND SIN WHEN IT IS FULL GROWN,
  BRINGS FORTH DEATH. DONT BE DECEIVED MY BELOVED
  BRETHREN. EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT
  IS FROM ABOVE AND COMES DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF
  LIGHTS, WITH WHOM THERE IS NO VARIATION OR SHADOW
  OF TURNING.

24
2. (7) PRINCIPLES OF TEMPTATION

1. GOD IS NEVER THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF ANY EVIL
   TEMPTATION
2. GOD IS ALWAYS THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF EVERY GOOD
3. EVERY TEMPTATION PURPOSEFULLY SEEKS TO DECEIVE

25

• EVERY TEMPTATION BECOMES A TEMPTATION WHEN YOU
  ARE DRAWN AWAY
• EVERY TEMPTATION CAN ONLY TEMPT BECAUSE OF YOUR
  OWN DESIRES
• EVERY TEMPTATION ATTEMPTS TO CUNNINGLY ENTICE
  BAIT ON THE HOOK
• EVERY TEMPTATION HAS ONLY ONE ULTIMATE GOAL WHICH
  IS YOUR SIN

26
3. (7) STAGES OF TEMPTATION

• THE SCRIPTURE

• BY HIS OWN DESIRES
• ENTICED

(3) POINTS

• THE LORDS STANDARDS
• THE LORDS PROVISION
• 3. THE LORDS PRACTICAL PRINCIPLES

32
1 CORINTHIANS 69b, 11,13b and 18a

• NEITHER FORNICATORS, NOR IDOLATORS, NOR
  ADULTERERS, NOR HOMOSEXUALS, NOR SODOMITESWILL
  NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND SUCH WERE
  SOME OF YOU. BUT YOU WERE WASHED, BUT YOU WERE
  SANCTIFIED, BUT YOU WERE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF
  THE LORD JESUS AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD. NOW
  THE BODY IS NOT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BUT FOR
  THE LORD, AND THE LORD FOR THE BODY. FLEE SEXUAL
  IMMORALITY.

33
1 THE LORDS STANDARDSSEXUAL IMMMORALITY IS

• SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE WITH ANYONE
• SEX WITH ANYONE BUT YOUR WIFE AFTER MARRIAGE
• SEX WITH A CHILD

34

• SEX WITH ANYONE OR ANYTHING EXCEPT WIFE
• LUSTFUL THOUGHTS (MATTHEW 528)
• SEEKING ANYTHING FOR SEXUAL AROUSAL
• LOOKING ON NAKEDNESS FOR PLEASURE OUTSIDE OF
  MARRIAGE

35
I CORINTHIANS 72-5

• BUT BECAUSE OF IMMORALITIES, LET EACH MAN HAVE
  HIS OWN WIFE, AND LET EACH WOMAN HAVE HER OWN
  HUSBAND. LET THE HUSBAND FULFILL HIS DUTY TO HIS
  WIFE AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE WIFE TO HER HUSBAND.
  THE WIFE DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY OVER HER OWN
  BODY, BUT THE HUSBAND DOES AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE
  HUSBAND DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY OVER HIS OWN
  BODY, BUT THE WIFE DOES. STOP DEPRIVING ONE
  ANOTHER, EXCEPT BY AGREEMENT FOR A TIME THAT YOU
  MAY DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO PRAYER AND COME TOGETHER
  AGAIN LEST SATAN TEMPT YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR LACK
  OF SELF CONTROL.

36
2 THE LORDS PROVISION

• EACH MAN TO HAVE HIS OWN WIFE
• BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE TO
• FULFILL SEXUAL DUTIES/OBLIGATIONS

37

• IN MARRIAGE YOUR BODIES ARE UNDER THE AUTHORITY
  OF EACH OTHER FOR SEXUAL FULFILLMENT
• THE REQUEST FOR SEX IS NOT TO BE DENIED UNLESS
  BOTH AGREE AND FOR A LIMITED TIME
• THE POSTPONEMENT OF SEX WEAKENS SELF CONTROL

38
I THESELONIANS 43-8

• IT IS GODS WILL THAT YOU SHOULD BE SANCTIFIED
  THAT YOU SHOULD AVOID SEXUAL IMMORALITY THAT YOU
  SHOULD LEARN TO CONTROL HIS OWN BODY IN WAY THAT
  IS HOLY AND HONORABLE, NOT IN PASSIONATE LUST
  LIKE THE HEATHEN, WHO DO NOT KNOW GOD AND THAT
  IN THIS MATTER NO ONE SHOULD WRONG HIS BROTHER OR
  TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIM. THE LORD WILL PUNISH MEN
  FOR ALL SUCH SINS, AS WE HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU
  AND WARNED YOU. FOR GOD DID NOT CALL US TO BE
  IMPURE, BUT TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE. THEREFORE, HE
  WHO REJECTS THIS INSTRUCTION DOES NOT REJECT MAN
  BUT GOD, WHO GIVES YOU HIS HOLY SPIRIT.

39
3 THE LORDS PRINCIPLES

• SANCTIFY YOURSELF IN SEXUAL AREAS TO BE IN THE
  WILL OF GOD
• FOCUS ON YOUR WIFE
• LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR SEXUAL DESIRES TO BE HOLY
  AND HONORABLE

40
HOW TO CONTROL YOURSELF

• PRE-COMMIT TO ABSTINENCE
• HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION
• HAVE PARTNERS IN ACCOUNTABILITY
• DONT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANYONE TO SATISFY YOUR
  SEXUAL NEEDS

41

• FEAR GODS DISCIPLINE FOR ALL YOUR SEXUAL
  IMMORALITY
• (V7) REMEMBER THAT GOD DID NOT CALL YOU TO
  IMPURITYBUT TO HOLINESS
• (V8) DEPEND UPON THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS A GIFT
  FOR YOUR HOLINESS

42
I CORINTHIANS 613b,19-20a

• NOW THE BODY IS NOT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY BUT FOR
  THE LORD, AND THE LORD FOR THE BODY. DO YOU NOT
  KNOW THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY
  SPIRIT WHO IS IN YOU WHOM YOU HAVE FROM GOD, AND
  YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN? FOR YOU WERE BOUGHT AT A
  PRICE, THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY.

43
I CORINTHIANS 613b,19-20a

• THE REALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT LITERALLY IN YOUR
  BODY
• THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY
• THE RITUAL OF THE HANDSHAKE OF MORAL AND SEXUAL
  PURITY

44
NO LINE IN THE SAND

• AVERAGE CHRISTIAN HAS NOT PREDETERMINED THEIR
  LINE IN THE SAND
• FROM NOW ONSHAKE HANDS ON ITI WILL SEXUALLY
  STAY PURE BY GODS GRACE
