THEME: It Is Written
SERIES: Life is an Adventure!
TITLE: Keeping It Real
Scripture: Psalm 101
This psalm is not a (tongue-lashing) but a commitment to an honest, holy way of life. The struggle we all face is to stop (wearing masks) and give up our (facades) and be real. To put it bluntly: to stop (pretending).
I. A COMMITMENT TO MYSELF
It is one thing to believe something; it is another to be (convicted) on it.
Conviction gives belief (backbone).
4 convictions every follower of Christ must possess:
1) (Consistency) [V.1] Justice checks love which might be wrongly indulgent and mercy checks judgment which might tend to be harsh.
2) (Integrity). [V.2]
3) (Humility). [v.3]
4) (Purity). [V.4]
II. A COMMITMENT TO OTHERS
The 7 types of people David mentions:
1. (Slanderer). [V.5a] ”The action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation.”
2. (Proud). [V.5b] Pr.21:4: “Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin.”
3. (Faithful). [V.6a]
4. (Blameless). [V.6b] People who are not perfect but are people of integrity.
5. (Deceiver). [V.7a]
6. (Liar). [V.7b]
7. (Wicked). [V.8]
