The TRUTH

1- Our bodies are still under the gravity of the sin condition.

2- The greatest struggle is in ourselves not in the outside world. Slide5

The TRUTH

3- The greatest and ONLY victory in the area of CHRISTIAN morality and ethics comes as the Holy Spirit grows His fruit in us.

It cannot be done with human willpower. Slide6

GALATIANS 5:16-26

I say then:

Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 

17 

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to oneSlide7

another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

 

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are:Slide8

24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not becomeSlide12

ETHICAL ATTITUDES

There are ways that we think which lead us into temptation and sin.

When we begin to believe that we are more unique, powerful, gifted or deserving of special treatment we sin. Slide14

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 

saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 

Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, 

that

 Slide15

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. 

For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay 

them

 on men’s shoulders; Slide16

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

but they 

themselves

 will not move them with one of their fingers. 

But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders ofSlide17

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

their garments. 

They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 

greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ Slide18

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

 

But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. 

Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is inSlide19

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

heaven. 

10 

And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. 

11 

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 

12 

And whoever exalts himself will beSlide20

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

13 

But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven againstSlide21

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

men; for you neither go in 

yourselves,

 nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 

14 

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’Slide22

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

houses, and for a pretense make long prayers.

Therefore you will receive greater condemnation

.

15 

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Slide23

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

16 

Woe to you, blind guides, whoSlide24

MINISTERIAL

MATTHEW 23:1-36

say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged 

to perform it.

’ 

17 

Fools and blind! For which is greater,Slide25

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 

18 

And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged 

toSlide26

MINISTERIAL

perform it.

’ 

19 

Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 

20 

Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. Slide27

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

 

21 

He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it. 

22 

And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.Slide28

MINISTERIAL

MATTHEW 23:1-36

23 

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and

matters

 of the law:Slide29

MINISTERIAL

25 

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.Slide31

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

26 

Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!Slide32

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed

appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.

 Slide33

MINISTERIAL

MATTHEW 23:1-36

28 

Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29 

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Slide34

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

MATTHEW 23:1-36

Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 

30 

and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakersSlide35

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE WAYS IN WHICH MINISTERS SIN

with them in the blood of the prophets.’

31 

Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 

32 

Fill up, then, the measureSlide36

MINISTERIAL

of your fathers’ 

guilt.

 

33 

Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?

 

34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, andSlide37

scribes:

some

 of them you will kill and crucify, and 

some

35 

that on you may come all the righteousSlide38

MINISTERIAL

THE HOLINESS OF GOD

There is a difference between being a DECENT person and holding to a PERSONAL HOLY SPIRIT STANDARD of living.

Many secular people are DECENT and have good, moral values. Slide43

MINISTERIAL

ETHICS

THE HOLINESS OF GOD

The value system of a DECENT human being can come from the human idea of being nice and fun.

The value system for the believer is very different. Slide44

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE CHRIST-LIKE VALUE SYSTEM

ROMANS 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, 

which is

 your reasonable service. Slide45

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSTHE CHRIST-LIKE VALUE SYSTEM

ROMANS 12:1-2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what 

is

 that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”Slide46

Philip E. Hughes

“That ethical standards are seriously regarded by the secular authorities as well as by the Christian church

IS NOT

questioned. The presence of police forces and courts of law

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSSlide47

Philip E. Hughes

throughout the world testifies to the concern for what is socially equitable... It would however, be a mistake to conclude that Christian and secular ethics must be virtually

identical simply because both have a concern for decency and order and profess antipathy to injustice...”

BIBLICAL ETHICS

The secular is driven by the motive to make his surroundings a better place and offer his chaste conduct as an offering to secular society and the god of humanism.

GENERATIONAL ETHICS

Ethics that come from your parents or culture.

It points back to human upbringing and reflects on the past culture. All the best praises go to the human spirit.

Generational ethics make NO PROVISION for restoration or reconciliation, not to mention supernatural change or real recovery and rehabilitation.

BIBLICAL ETHICS

The believer in Jesus Christ is chaste in his or her lifestyle because they love their LORD JESUS CHRIST more than they love their own sin and pleasure.

BIBLICAL ETHICS

Believers are not “LEFT ALONE” to change themselves and their behaviour. They are changed by the HOLY SPIRIT.

There is provision for reconciliation and rehab.

LUKE 19:1-9

Then 

Jesus

 entered and passed through Jericho. 

Now behold, 

there was

 a man named Zacchaeus

who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. Slide55

MINISTERIAL

LUKE 19:1-9

And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. 

So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree toSlide56

MINISTERIAL

ETHICSJesus Christ makes a place for reconciliation and rehab

see Him, for He was going to pass that 

way.

 

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “

Zacchaeus

, make haste and come down, Slide57

MINISTERIAL

LUKE 19:1-9

for today I must stay at your house.” 

So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. 

But when they saw 

it,

they all complained, saying, Slide58

LUKE 19:1-9

“He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”

Then

Zacchaeus

stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I haveSlide59

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son ofSlide60

Abraham;

GOD IS POWERFUL

While secular “DECENCY” creates even more divisions in cultures and societies, Biblical ethics motivates believers to reconcile and rehabilitate indecent cultures and outcasts.

While secular “DECENCY” wears down with time and life, Biblical ethics grows even stronger as the

Unresponsive to the natural urges.

Feeding the need and not the greed.

Choosing not to pursue dangerous places in this world and in our thoughts.

BEING DEAD TO SIN

?

Not encouraging or reanimating old sinful lifestyles.

Fleeing away from stinking, filthy sin and running to CHRIST to fill your needs.
