2:7-8

Today's Scripture

Do you blush? Have you ever found your jaw open from something that took you off guard? There is so much in our culture today like scenes in movies, language in the halls, clothes that don’t cover up much or have words on places that attract your eye to a certain part of the body, etc. Does it make you blush or have you become desensitized? It says Lot was distressed or even oppressed by all the unrighteousness going on around him.

Study Questions:

LIST: make a list of things you hear and see regularly on tv, movies, games, school, sports team, etc. that is typical of our culture today.

LINK: Look up Jeremiah 6:15. How does the Lord describe those who have become desensitized?

LIVE: Do you blush anymore? Do you feel the tug of conviction when a cuss word flies or an inappropriate conversation occurs among friends? How can you live among the “filth” and become sensitive to the point it burdens your heart to prayer?

Will you chose to influence without being influenced yourself? Look up Daniel 1:8. Does it say Daniel did? The word resolved means “to set your heart” on not being defiled. If your heart is set on not being defiled then these things then you will be sensitive to them.

Have you checked your sensitivity lately? Do you need to resolve or set you heart in some areas? Take time to pray and ask God where you have lost touch or feeling?
