Isaiah 5: 20- 21
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
1 John 2: 16
For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from
the world.
Ephesians 5: 1-7
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in
1 

the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a
fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.3 But among you there must not
be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of
greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should
there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place,
but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral,
impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[ 6 Let no one deceive
you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes
on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with
them.
Ephesians 5: 8-13
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the
8 

Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light

consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find
out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the
fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.12 It is
shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in
secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes
visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

Weeps over sin
James 4: 8-9
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your
hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned
to mourning and your joy to gloom.

• The quickest way to lose the wonder of the gospel is to lose

sight of the depth of our sin.
• Do not let your heart be callously numb. Be appalled, disgusted,
shocked and grieved in the depth of your heart over sin.
Overcomes failures
2 Timothy 4:11
Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you,
because he is helpful to me in my ministry.

• Returned, repented, refocused and restored.

• God can work with failures and quitters and turn them into
faithful helpful servants.
• Are you a Barnabas to a John Mark?
Keeps God’s Laws
2 Kings 22: 2
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and followed
completely the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the
right or to the left. (2 Kings 22:2)

2 Kings 23: 25
Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who
turned to the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his
soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of
Moses.
Exemplifies Christ
1 Timothy 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young,
but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in
love, in faith and in purity.

“Being woke isn’t a question of whether it’s right for you to

speak up; it’s about why you’re speaking up, what you’re
speaking about, and how you’re speaking your message.”
Following Christ is countercultural,
but not counter culture.
