The Best Morals are Crowd-Sourced

 

When we look back at our lives how often did following the crowd make us look like a clown?

 

Proverbs 16:25 There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. New Living Translation

 

You Do You Boo

 

Our Culture Says: I want to do...WHATever, WHERever, WHENever, with WHOever I please.

 

A Christian Says: God, I want to do...WHATever you want, WHERever you want, WHENever you want, with WHOever you want.

 

LIMITS = LOVE

 

The most UNloving thing a parent can do… is give their child a life without limits!

 

The more I understand I died on a cross, the less I’ll want to walk with the crowd.

 

The crowd can’t understand God’s morals because they didn’t die on Jesus’ cross.

 

Ephesians 4:17 And so I insist—and God backs me up on this—that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. The Message

 

Ephesians 4:18 They’ve refused for so long to deal with God that they’ve lost touch not only with God but with reality itself. 19 They can’t think straight anymore. Feeling no pain, they let themselves go in sexual obsession, addicted to every sort of perversion. The Message

 

You’re As Dead As You’ll Ever Be And As Perfect As You Can Be

 

Romans 6:3 Don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? God’s Word Translation

 

Romans 6:4 When we were baptized into his death, we were placed into the tomb with him. As Christ was brought back from death to life by the glorious power of the Father, so we, too, should live a new kind of life. God’s Word Translation

 

Galatians 2:20 have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. New International Version

2 Corinthians 5:17 When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun! Living Bible

 

A Dead Person Can Say No to the Crowd

 

Galatians 6:14 But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. New American Standard Bible

 

Colossians 3:3 You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in GodChrist is your life. When he appears, then you, too, will appear with him in glory. God’s Word Translation

 

Colossians 3:5 Therefore, put to death whatever is worldly in you: your sexual sin, perversion, passion, lust, and greed (which is the same thing as worshiping wealth). God’s Word Translation

 

Colossians 3:8 Also get rid of your anger, hot tempers, hatred, cursing, obscene language, and all similar sins. Don’t lie to each other. You’ve gotten rid of the person you used to be and the life you used to live, God’s Word Translation

 

Colossians 3:10 and you’ve become a new person. This new person is continually renewed in knowledge to be like its Creator. God’s Word Translation
