Matthew 7:24-27
Building on the rock is not easy .
Key moments in the beginning of a relationship when you need to wisely build :
Principle 1: Only seriously date those who lift you spiritually .
2 Corinthians 6:14
Principle 2: God wants you to maintain sexual purity .
1 Thess. 4:3-5; Hebrews 13:4
Parents...
1. Demand accountability when your children are young.
2. Don’t let your kids date too early.
3. Parents always try to limit temptation for your children.
4. Teach your child to say “ NO ” to sexual pressure.
Principle 3: Christian love is more than a feeling , it is a commitment we work to maintain.
Ephesians 5:25; 1 Peter 4:8
What was the difference between the wise man who built on the rock and foolish man who built on sand? One put God’s wisdom into practice and the other just knew about it. Which one are you?
