He was lost but has been found.’ … ‘This brother of yours was dead but has come back to life. He was lost but has been found.’” Luke 15

22. I Thessalonians 4:3-8 It is God's will that you keep away from sexual sin as a mark of your devotion to him. Each of you should know that finding a husband or wife for yourself is to be done in a holy and honorable way, not in the passionate, lustful way of people who don't know God. No one should take advantage of or exploit other believers that way. The Lord is the one who punishes people for all these things. We've already told you & warned you about this. God didn't call us to be sexually immoral but to be holy. Therefore, whoever rejects this order is not rejecting human authority but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

23. 'The gospel of Jesus directly repudiates all false information about God and, therewith, about the meaning of human life; & works to undermine the power of those ideas & images that structure life away from God.' D. Willard Rejects, renounces

24. Matthew 5:27-30 "You have heard that it was said, 'Never commit adultery.’ But I can guarantee that whoever looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery in his heart. "So if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose a part of your body than to have all of it thrown into hell. And if your right hand leads you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose a part of your body than to have all of it go into hell.
