New Life Church of Siloam Springs, Arkansas

The Power of Purity

The Power of Purity

The modern church is not threatened as much from without as it is from within. If we allow Satan's philosophy to make inroads into the church, esp that which is contrary to Scripture, we are set up for failure. The true church is only the one who stands faithfully for righteousness at any cost.

The Power of Purity
We live in a very advantaged moment in time, regarding the church. It is also rife with danger as Satan is working feverishly to undermine, subtly, the Word.
Beware of 'a little'

A little compromise
A little impurity
A little buying in of world's values

If there is a God...and His Son our Savior, Jesus Christ...and if He is proclaimed in truth and prophecy by the Holy, Canonized Bible...then we do well to lean in ...and stay close in obedience!
The True Gospel

Gospel is Death / Burial / Resurrection

It begins with death. No death / no Gospel
Call to True Repentance:

If Christ's gospel is nothing more than a 'coping' mechanism, and no way to defeat the enemy, then we would be right in placating sin. But if Christ is risen and the power of the Holy Spirit is available, we fail if we allow sin to remain in the believer!
Seven Deadly Sins:
1. Pride 2. Envy 3. Gluttony 4. Greed 5. Lust 6. Laziness 7. Wrath

These are not given to cramp our lives...but to give us an abundant, blessed life!


From - Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome - by Kent Hughes

1. Are we being desensitized by the present evil world?
2. Where do our minds wander when we have no duties to perform?
3. What are we reading?
4. How many hours do we spend watching TV?
5. How many chapters of the bible did we read last week?
Heaven - A Holy Place for Holy People

Angels cry - 'Holy, Holy, Holy'

Imagine the purity of God's presence imenating

Note the 'ing-words' - bringing salvation, instructing to deny, looking for the coming of Christ

Note the 'y-words' - deny ungodliness, sensibly live, also righteously, godly, and purify


HOLY Spirit makes us HOLY:
* Holy in thought
* Holy in lifestyle
* Holy in motive
* Holy in appearance
The Power of Purity

It marks us as children of God

It creates a clean vessel for release of the Holy Spirit

It invites the very presence of and power of God into our midst

As we move to new building - we will not become an entertainment center..but a house of prayer..of worship..of holiness unto the Lord. Those who are being awakened in our day are seeking something real and life-giving..a church that stands for God's Word.

Let us be a pure church...concentrated with the presence of God!!
