1 Thessalonians 4:7 “For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.”

Proverbs 6:16 lists 6 things…no 7 that displease God that sometimes creep into our journeys…
- Haughty eyes – PRIDE
- Lying tongue – LACK OF INTEGRITY IN SPEECH
- Hands that shed innocent blood – ANGER AND UNFORGIVENESS
- Heart that devises evil – HYPOCRISY
- Feet that rush into mischief – ILL-DISCIPLINE
- False witness – GOSSIP AND SLANDER
- Stirs up dissension – DIVISION
