Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. – Proverbs 31:30

 

The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him. – Proverbs 31:1

 

Don’t settle for a superficial woman, look for what matters most

 

Will I be who they want, or will I be who God has called me to be?

 

Charm is deceptive… – Proverbs 31:30

 

Charm = whisper a spell

 

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; – Proverbs 31:30

 

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. – 1 Peter 3:3-4

 

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. – Proverbs 31:30

 

A woman who fears God:

• Puts God first
• Identifies herself as a child of God
• Discovers what pleases God not people

Above all else, guard your heart,

for everything you do flows from it.

Proverbs 4:23

 

No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn-bushes, or grapes from briers.  A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

Luke 6:43-45

 

But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

Matthew 15:18-19

• Guardrails: A system designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or
off-limit areas

• Guardrails: Direct and Protect

They’re not placed in the danger zones. They’re placed inside the safety zones.

• Guardrails: designed to minimize damage

• Guardrails: a standard of behavior that becomes a matter of conscience

• The point of a guardrail is to light up our consciences BEFORE we hurt others
and/or ourselves.

• Culture doesn’t encourage guardrails. Culture is content with painted lines.
Fidelity

loyal, faithful
1 Corinthians 6:18–20
18 Flee from sexual immorality!
– flirt with instead of
flee from.

18 All other sins a person commits …

18 are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.

19 Do you not know …

19 that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from
God?

19 You are not your own;

20 you were bought at a price.

20 Therefore…

20 honor God with your bodies.

Talk about it.

Avoid travelling or eating alone with members of the opposite sex.
Tell ’em about it.

Tell somebody.
Dangerous environments call for extreme measures.
Flee or Flirt?

“I’m forever yours …
… faithfully.”
