What about Sex, Alcohol, and Gambling?

The key to the life we really want:

1. Your life has a purpose. (1 Cor. 9:24; 15:32)
2. Your purpose is realized the moment you stand at the finish line.(1 Cor. 9:25)
3. You were built to run. (1 Cor. 9:26-27)

Excuses that rob us of life:

Excuse #1: I have the right to do whatever I want! (1 Cor. 6:12)

Not everything we want is good for us.

Some of the things we want control our lives.

Excuse #2: What does it matter how I live, if this life is temporary? (1 Cor. 6:13-17)

Our bodies are meant for the Lord.

Our bodies will be resurrected and we will have them in eternity.

We participate in the body of Christ using our bodies.

The Spirit of the Lord dwells in our bodies.

Run to win: Set boundaries to reach the goal. (1 Cor. 6:18-20)
