A call to Purity


"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18)


The range of sexual perversion is practically endless in our day. From sex before and outside marriage to sexual relations with the same sex and even animals, our world keeps sinking deeper into the abyss of immorality.


As immortality becomes normal, we lose touch with the voice of our conscience and the Holy Spirit's promptings fall on hardened and deafened ears. At this point, we rationalize our sins and excuse ourselves with the anti-biblical philosophies of this world.


We can't help it because we have fallen too deep and to make matters worse, "everyone" seems to be doing it. Our only hope is to find our way back to the only time-tested, universal life guide for humanity which is God's word.


"How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word." (Psalm 119:9)


The Bible teaches us to avoid sexual immorality both for our spiritual and physical wellbeing. A call to purity is a call to our spiritual sanctity and moral dignity. May the Lord help us to stay pure as we remain His bride and His temple.


"It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable." (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4)


Remain inspired!

Eyes are watching

Eyes are watching!!!!!!! Most things when done out of the sight of others, especially, things that are not worthy, what do we most of the times hear the perpetrators say; “nobody saw us or nobody was around”. Yes indeed, to them nobody saw them. But the most appropriate thing to be said is, “we did not see anybody around”, for all you know eyes are watching. The eyes that watch us one way or the other affect us, because a time will come when these same eyes are going to make decisions about us and pass out judgments. Yes, a time will come when the eyes that are monitoring and watching us will determine our future. One may ask in what way will these eyes determine our future? Let’s go to scripture and read something from there, ACTS 1:23, when the disciples had to replace Judas Iscariot, the bible says “so they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas and Mathias”. But before that, they had their criteria for choosing these two men. So you ask yourself how were the disciples able to c

A Punctuation in History

 #BeInspiredToday 20-12-2022 A Punctuation in History The birth of Jesus has permanently altered the course of history in many ways, including how dates are recorded. The current global standard for the measurement of dates is known as the Gregorian calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII, under whose tenure it was instituted. Both the Gregorian calendar, and its predecessor - the Julian calendar - are based on the supposed birth date of Jesus Christ. It was Dionysius Exiguus, a Christian monk, who first proposed in the year 525 that dates be recorded in reference to the birth of Jesus Christ, hence the invention of the acronyms BC ("Before Christ") and AD ("Anno Domini" - Latin for "In the year of the Lord"). In relatively recent times, some have tried to change this with the excuse that it is not fair to other religious faiths. But no matter who likes it or not, the birth of Jesus has become a globally accepted reference point for the reckoning of dates.

Take Your Stand

"Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand." (1 Corinthians 15:1) In our postmodern world today which is heavily plagued with secular humanism, new age philosophies and religious pluralism, not a few Christians are shying away from standing up for what they believe, or, perhaps I should say that they are losing their belief in what they used to stand for. According to findings published on evidenceandanswers.org, "53 percent of adults in church believe there is no absolute truth. Among youth in church, research shows that 57 percent do not believe an objective standard of truth exists." This is a frightening development indeed. But we must not be surprised as this is the direct fulfillment of Scripture. "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons." (1 Timothy 4:1) Christianity
