You made him ruler over the works of your hands, you put everything under his feet; all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim in the paths of the sea. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.

It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. II Peter 2:14: (False Christians) With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning

25 OF MORALITY CONTEMPLATION: Key to Mental Victory II Corinthians 10:4-5 Romans 12:2 Philippians 4:8

26 CIRCUMCISION: INTEGRITY OF MORALITY Genesis 17:9-: Then God said to Abraham, As for you, you must keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep; Every male among you shall be circumcised. You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between Me and you.

27 CIRCUMCISION: INTEGRITY OF MORALITY For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household and circumcised them, as God told him. Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised, and his son Ishmael was thirteen. Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that same day.

28 OF MORALITY CIRCUMCISION: Romans 4:11: (Abraham) received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe

29 OF MORALITY CIRCUMCISION: Romans 2:28-29: A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit

30 OF MORALITY CIRCUMCISION: Galatians 5:6: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

31 COMPANIONS: INTEGRITY OF MORALITY Proverbs 1:10, 15-16, 18-19: My son, if sinners entice you (sinful friendships), do not give in to them for their feet rush into sin These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves! Proverbs 13:20: He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

I Corinthians 15:33: Don t fool yourselves: Bad company corrupts good character. Example of Jesus: He prayed all night before He chose His Disciples (Luke 6:12-16)

33 OF MORALITY Principle: The choice of your closest friendships will determine the level of your success.

34 OF MORALITY CONVERSATION: James 3:1-12 Proverbs 4:24: Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Proverbs 10:11: The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life. Proverbs 12:18: Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

35 OF MORALITY CONVERSATION: Proverbs 16:23-24: A wise man s heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction. Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 18:21: The tongue has the power of life and death

36 OF MORALITY CONVERSATION: Matthew 12:34: For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.

37 OF MORALITY CONVERSATION: Psalm 141:3: Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Colossians 4:6: Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Psalm 19:14: May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

38 CLOTHING: INTEGRITY OF MORALITY Luke 24:49: You are my witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what My Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.

39 CLOTHING: INTEGRITY OF MORALITY Ephesians 4:20-24: You were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.

40 OF MORALITY Colossians 3:1-14: Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

41 OF MORALITY Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

42 OF MORALITY Therefore, as God s chosen people, hold and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:1-14

43 CONCLUSIONS INTEGRITY OF MORALITY 1. God does not want us to be Men of Immaturity who are characterized by things like: ignorance, individualism, isolation, irresponsibility, idolatry, impurity and impotence. Men who are only sad imitations of masculinity and manhood. 2. He wants us to become Men of Integrity through our contemplation, circumcision, companions, conversation and clothing.

44 CONCLUSIONS INTEGRITY OF MORALITY 3. By these commitments we will become more and more mature attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). 4. Since Christ alone is the image of the invisible God and in Him all of the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form (Colossians 2:9) we can ONLY reach our full manhood in Him.

45 OF MORALITY CONCLUSIONS 5. As Paul said: In Him you have been made complete (Colossians 2:10). 6. Also, it is only In Christ that you enjoy and experience the following spiritual realities described by Paul:

46 OF MORALITY CONCLUSIONS 7. In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead. When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ (Colossians 2:11-14).

47 OF MORALITY CONCLUSIONS 8. And once you have been made alive with Christ through the new birth, God wants you to grow up in all things into Him who is the Head, that is Christ (Ephesians 4:15).

48 OF MORALITY CONCLUSIONS 9. Only Jesus was a perfectly mature Man. Only He lived a life of perfect integrity that glorified God in everything He did and said. So only in Him and through Him can you increasingly become a Man of Integrity.

49 CONCLUSIONS INTEGRITY OF MORALITY 10. And only as a Man of Integrity will these truths be a reality in your masculinity, morality, money, marriage, ministry and message: The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out (Proverbs 10:9). The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity (Proverbs 11:3). Righteousness guards the man of integrity; but wickedness overthrows the sinner (Proverbs 13:6). A good name is more desirable than great riches, to be esteemed is better than silver or gold (Proverbs 22:1). The righteous are as bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1)
