Jesus > Moralism
Article can be found here: ~~~> http://bit.ly/15fZcl Colossians 2:11-17 If the prosperity “gospel” is the most prevalent false teaching in our churches today then Moralism (or more fully: Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, which doesn’t make a very good sermon title) is the pervading misconception about our relationship to and with God. The religious temperature of our culture as described by Christian Smith and his team of researchers from UNC is, Moralistic Therapeutic Deism consisting of beliefs like these: 1. "A god exists who created and ordered the world and watches over human life on earth." 2. "God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions." 3. "The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself." 4. "God does not need to be particularly involved in one's life except when God is needed to resolve a problem." 5. "Good people go to heaven when they die." Colossians and the rest of Scripture totally invalidate these and other misconceptions about who God is and how he relates to us! In Colossians 2:11-17 Paul offers us three proofs that Jesus > Moralism.

We need to know the devastating toll sexual sin will take on us. Do you want to pay this kind of price? (1 Corinthians 3:16, 17; 6: 16-18) 2. We need to know how serious God takes it when we don’t control our own sexual urges and take advantage of another sister or brother. Are you aware of these consequences? (I Thessalonians 4: 3-7)) 3. We need to nurture the wholesome yearning in life for intimacy (John 15) Most sexual sin is a counterfeit for someone’s search for intimacy 4. We need to act on the power of covenanting with God (Job 31:1) 5. We can enjoy this wonderful, life-giving relationship of knowing our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in us. (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20)
