GODLY MOMS SPEAK INTO OUR LIVES -- AT CRITICAL JUNCTURES 3. “Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb! Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers! Do not spend your strength on women, your visor on those who ruin kings.

The sermon manuscript is available for download below. SERMON SLIDES: 1. WISDOM GIVES US THE NECESSARY SKILLS 2. WISDOM NAVIGATES US THROUGH THE DECEPTIONS 3. WISDOM ESTABLISHES THE BOUNDARIES 4. “When it comes to guys, look for kindness over cool. And trust your gut. If it feels wrong, leave. Say no. Say no. Say no. I would defend your right to wear what you want and have just-for-fun sex if you want.” 5. “When it comes to guys, look for wisdom over cool. Trusting your gut-going with your feelings can get you in big trouble. It might feel right and still be terribly wrong. Keep your trust in one place-God and His wisdom. And as for what you should wear, it's not always prudent to wear what you want. Adorn yourself in a manner that is modest-that attracts another to your heart and soul. And don't buy into the 'just for fun sex' lies that are floating out there. This is a bit like a father saying to a son-“And careful with pornography-stay with the 'for fun pornography'.” Any sex outside of a commitment to life long, covenantal love is not fun-it eventually ruins the soul.” 6. WISDOM GIVES US A BETTER WAY 7. WISDOM CONFRONTS US WITH REALITY
