In our continuing Deuteronomy sermon series at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, this past Sunday, January 31 brought an "embarrassing" section in chapter 25, verses 11-12. Though our society may look down on propriety, decorum, and modesty, we see from God's law that modesty is important.
Modesty is not a sign of repression but of redemption and renewal.
Then our senior pastor moved on to Deuteronomy 25:13-16 and talked about living with integrity, which is doing what's right when no one is looking. He showed us how Jesus lived a life of integrity even though it caused him pain and suffering. We too much be people of integrity--ever in need of the work of the Spirit. He challenged us: How are we living toward the goal of living with integrity?
