3. OUR WATCHFULNESS AND PURGING FROM EVERY LITTLE LEAVEN
I Corinthians 5:7,8
There was needful for:
-Personal purging : distance the victim, enlighten your conscience with the word of God, be sincere with yourself, maintain a positive & sensitive conscience
-Family purging : remove the stumbling blocks from the family, keep the privacy and dignity of the parents sacred, ensure genuine salvation for all children of the family, practical holiness in the Bible (keep your territory while I keep mine such that there will be no crossing that will bring stain on our family)
-Church purging : scriptural love not sentimental love because sentimental love will lead to lust; preach Holiness clearly, scripturally and convincingly; pursue heaven and not number; be not ignorant, indulgent or indifferent of your congregation
Be fearless, firm and fierce against sin
Preach practical Holiness that will take us to heaven
II Timothy 2:21; Psalm 51:6,7; Isaiah 6:1-8
