24. The testimony of the church SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully...By striving to live a godly life With the Lord’s authority let me say this: Live no longer as the ungodly do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of God because they have shut their minds and hardened their hearts against him. They don’t care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given themselves over to immoral ways. Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed [ Eph 4:17-19 (NLT)]

Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he is the one who has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. [Eph 4:29-30 (NLT)]

The testimony of the church SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully...By striving to live a godly life So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you. Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your hearts. And you will always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ [Eph 5:15-20 (NLT)]
