Theme : “ Being a role model for other children ”
Text : Ephesians 5:1-7
1. Become therefore imitators of God, like beloved children; 2. and walk in charity, after the example of Christ, who loved us, and gave himself to God for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice. 3. Let not fornication, any kind of impurity, and covetousness even be named among you, as befits saints. 4. Do not hear dishonest words, foolish talk, or jokes, things that are contrary to propriety; let us rather hear thanksgiving. 5. For know it well, no fornicator, or impure, or greedy, that is to say, idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6. Let no one deceive you with empty talk; for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7. So have no part with them.
Let's remember:
As children of God, we are "set apart", we have been taken out of the lot of those who are perishing. God ordained us to go, to bear fruit, and for our fruit to remain. Let's not go back into the world because God has exempted us from it. Let us no longer share in the pleasures of this world. To do this, let us not walk in fornication, nor in impurity, let us refuse greed, as befits saints. Let us treat our life better, far from these perverse desires which trouble the lives of the children of God. On the contrary, let us walk in truth, sanctification, charity, following the example of Christ, who loved us, and who gave himself up to God for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice. We too, let us be pleasant and sweet-smelling sacrifices before God. We must be proud of our God. Let's get rid of dishonest words, foolish talk, all kinds of jokes, things that's contrary to decorum. Let us rather be inclined towards thanksgiving. Excellent month of July and a good start to the weekend. Amen Alain Louz.-
