The church at Ephesus faced a culture characterized by immorality. We, too, live in a culture tolerant of sexual immorality. It is popular to be open-minded to many types of sin, calling them personal choices or alternative lifestyles. But when the body of believers begins to tolerate sin in the church, it is lowering the church's standards and compromising its witness. Remember that God's approval is infinitely more important than the world's. Use God's Word, not what people around you are willing to accept, to set the standards for what is right or wrong.

A True Story (If she had killed herself she'd be a shoe-in for the
Darwin Award)

Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour
east of Bakersfield, a blonde, new to boating was having a problem. No
matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get her brand new 22-ft
Bayliner to perform. It wouldn't get on a plane at all, and it was very
sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power she applied.

After about an hour of trying to make it go, she putted over to a nearby
marina. Maybe they could tell her what was wrong. A thorough topside
check revealed everything was in perfect working order. The engine ran
fine, the outdrive went up and down, and the prop was the correct size
and pitch.

So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath the
boat. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard.
Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer.
