A Call to Stand Apart
Kirk, age 23
Scripture
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or
arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable
or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the
truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures
all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come
to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will
come to an end.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
.
He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from
the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22
.
Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is
there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship is
there between light and darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14
.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain
from fornication; that each one of you know how to control your own
body in holiness and honor, not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles
who do not know God. ... For God did not call us to impurity but in
holiness.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-7
.
Let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunk-
enness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and
jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provi-
[74]
sion for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
Romans 13:13, 14
.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Matthew
5:8
.
For your maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name;
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.
Isaiah 54:5
.
So the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with
singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain
joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Isaiah
51:11
