New Age Movement

The Bible, of course, also warns of a coming world government that will be based on evolutionary humanism, when a great king “shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods.” Instead of acknowledging responsibility to the Creator, he will “honor the God of forces” (Daniel 11:36, 38). The ultimate source of evolutionary humanism and all its religious representatives, whether in ancient paganism or modern scientism, is none other than Satan himself, the old Dragon, who has been seeking since the beginning to destroy the God of creation and become the cosmic deity himself. For a brief moment Satanism will finally become the world’s religion. “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast ” (Revelation 13:4).

New Age Spiritism

Deuteronomy 18:10-14 Let no practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD

Pornography

Pornography attacks the dignity of men and women created in the image of God. Pornography also distorts God’s gift of sex which should be shared only within the bonds of marriage. See 1 Cor. 7:2-3; Mathew 5:27-30; adultery (Lev. 18:20), bestiality (Lev. 18:23).

And it came to pass in an evening, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman [was] very beautiful to look upon. 2 Samuel 11:2. 

I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? Job 31:1

Prostitution

Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Leviticus 19:29 

     Other NT verses: 1 Corinthians 6:15-17; Ephesians 5:5; Hebrews 13:4 

Seven deadly sins, The

These six [things] doth the Lord hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness [that] speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren. Proverbs 6:16-19 

Sexual sins

You shall not commit adultery. Exodus 20:14 

     Other NT verses: Matthew 5:28; Acts 15:20; Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:13-19 

Sins

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft [which includes the use of drugs]; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. In summary, the Bible teaches us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. (Titus 2:12).

Smoking tobacco

Know you not that you are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] you are. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

     Other NT verses: Matthew 1:18-20; Luke 1:34-35 

Temptation

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. …Then said Jesus unto him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, you shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall you serve.

Characteristics of New Life in Christ:

1. Love: Jesus said two commandments were key:  love God, and love your neighbor as yourself. (Matt. 22:37-40)

2. A nation/society:  The 10 Commandments Ex. 20:1-17

3. Family:  Ex 20:12 (honor parents), Deut. 6:4-9

4. Man/Woman relationships:  honor one another, Eph. 5:1-21, I Peter 3:8-12, Prov. 31:3 sets limits

5. Marriage:  Marriage is God’s idea from the beginning. Sex is to be enjoyed, but only within the boundaries of marriage.  Outside of marriage?  Choose now to say no.  Work to prevent finding yourself in awkward situations.  Example of David: should have been somewhere else. (II Sam. 11:1); Gen. 2:18-25 (Adam and Eve),  Heb. 13:4 (honor the marriage bed), Ecc. 9:9 (Enjoy), Prov. 5:15-19 (Be exhilarated), Prov. 31:10-31 (the excellent wife), (I Peter 3:1-8—wives and husbands), Song of Songs

Proverbs also has advice for men and women who are making the right choice in their relationship; Prov. 7:1-5 (wisdom and understanding keep you on the right path), Prov. 31: 10-31(the excellent wife)

7. Difficult times we live in today – The Bad:  II Tim. 3:1-9    The Good:  II Tim. 3:10-17

8 Temptation (and making choices) – I Cor. 10:13 (always a way of escape.)  Avoid getting there in the first place!  Plan to succeed. The Bad:  II Peter 1:9; The Good: II Peter 1:2-8

9. Identity and Purpose.  Gen. 1:26-31 (men and women’s unique mandate), II Pet. 1:10-11 (calling and choosing), Phil. 3:12-14 (press on), I Cor. 15:10 (I live by faith)

10. Relating to others:  Love:  Eph 5:1 (walk in love), 1 Cor. 9:19-23 (relate that I may win some)
