00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040
I'm thinking today of verse 3 of chapter 5 of the book of Ephesians.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:12,880
It says, but do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,460
as is proper among saints.

4
00:00:15,460 --> 00:00:22,400
And there must be no filthiness and silly talk or coarse jesting which are not fitting,

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,080
but rather giving of thanks.

6
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:30,480
I think it's interesting that the proper activity of the saints is the giving of thanks.

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,720
And when we get wrapped up in doing the things that the world is doing, we forget to be giving

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,860
thanks.

9
00:00:35,860 --> 00:00:38,560
And while we're doing those things, we're doing those things that are not proper for

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,800
the saints.

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,200
If you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you know where you're going.

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,340
You don't need to participate in the world system of finding entertainment.

13
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:54,240
You don't need to participate in the world system of comedy or coarse jesting.

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Turn it all off.

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,240
Turn it away.

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Don't let it affect your mind.

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,440
Don't let it enter your ears.

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,020
Don't let it affect your heart.

19
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:05,400
It should not be found, not even a hint of it, amongst us who are saints.

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,040
Let there be no filthiness, no silly talk or coarse jesting.

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,160
We will be stronger.

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,900
We will stand firm and we will serve Jesus when we remember the way we are to conduct

23
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:17,280
ourselves in the Kingdom of God.

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,360
I love the Lord and want to be found faithful.

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,600
Don't you?

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:27,800
Let's focus on that which God has blessed us with and always be found giving thanks.

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Be encouraged today.

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:36,220
If you haven't done so already, text SETTINGS to 419-419-0095 and at least sign up under

29
00:01:36,220 --> 00:01:41,120
the link where it says WIN Visa gift cards and prizes because Life Station is going to

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,400
be giving those things away every month now.

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:52,040
God bless you today.
