Behaviors to avoid

After Ephesians 5:1-21 

There’s a way to act, and

there’s a way to not act,

and while it’s not polite

to point out the bad stuff,

it must be done so we all

know what the bad stuff is.

like immorality (strictly

and loosely defined), like

all impurity (ditto), and

wanting everything you

see (another form of lust).

Don’t even talk about it.

Drop the foolishness and

the foolish talk and

the crude jokes, because

that’s what the culture 

does, and if we’re anything

we’re contra-cultural. 

This stuff gets you cut 

from the will. Instead:

give thanks.
