What Does The Bible Say?

Against this confused background, the Bible speaks clearly and incisively. It does not set out to answer the specific questions some Christians ask. You will no where find a verse which says, for example: ' You may kiss for six seconds but not for six minutes.' But what the Bible does give is guidelines - principles on which each Christian must build his or her behavior patterns.

Live in obedience to Jesus
Live in the presence of Jesus
Bring the will into alignment with God's
Seek God's transforming power
