但以理书 1:1 ~ 3:30
是顺从喜好，还是持守信仰？（二）
在道德的纯净上建立自己的信仰
1.下定决心在身体上保持纯净，选择上帝的旨意。
2.在心理上保持纯净，不要把肮脏的东西装到脑子里去。
在伦理上建立信仰
1.如果我们错了，那我们需要承认。不要再找借口，也不要再说谎。
2.顺从喜好是为了图方便，而持守信仰则意味着要牺牲。
在属灵的方面建立信仰
如果我们没有每天和上帝亲近，没有奉献该奉献的钱数，没有诚心诚意的去教会聚会，那么我们就选择了顺从自己的喜好，而没有持守自己的信仰。
结语
斯坦利讲述了他太太上大学时短暂模特生涯的故事。当让她穿有性挑逗的衣服时，她拒绝了。因为她在乎的是：上帝是怎么想的。
Conviction VS. Preference(II)Develop Convictions in the Area of Moral Purity
- Make up your mind in the area of physical purity, choose God’s will for you.
- In the area of mental purity, it is wrong to put filth into minds.
Develop Convictions in the Area of Ethics
- If we’re wrong, we need to admit it—no more excuses and lying.
- Preference is oriented toward convenience, and conviction is oriented toward sacrifice.
Develop Convictions in the Area of Spirituality
If we aren’t spending daily time with God, tithing the correct amount, and attending church faithfully, we are choosing to follow our preferences rather than our convictions.
Conclusion
Stanley tells the story of his wife’s brief modeling career in college, which ended when she was asked to wear a suggestive costume and refused, since she cared what God thought.
