5 Jul 2016; Eph 5: 6-10
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
(Ephesians 5:6-10 ESV)
The one who deceive are the ones who do not know the truth about Christ, about God and the plans He has for us. They will continue to walk in darkness caliming what they know or do is correct - the way.
My object of faith is God in Christ that die for me that I am have life. Not by works to accumulate goodness. As such we walk in light in the Lord, made children of light. Not that we do - trying to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
As such we who have Christ and know God, walk in light - good, right and true. We do not partners with those whose disobedience force them into darkness.

4 July; Eph 5: 1-5
4 July; Eph 5: 1-5
Walk in Love Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. (Ephesians 5:1-5 ESV)
Walk - be alive. We are made in the images of God, as His beloved children. Therefore like Christ - walk in love - for the purpose as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
On the contrary, we are alive, for ourselves. We enjoy this life (no wrong) but to an extend made pleasure out of sex (which God made for the purpose of marriage, be fruitful and multiple and populate the earth, so that it we inherit the earth.
But sadly, sexual immorality, impurity and covetous became rampant and became part of life.
I pray that this sin be away from me - let no filthiness in sexual impurity cause me to be separate from the purpose of God. That I will be a fragrance to Christ - as is proper among saints.
