Celibacy, Chastity and Purity
February 18, 1981
Rolling Hills Covenant Church
 
This is session #6 of an 11-part series called “The Disciple, the Disciplines and the Triumphant Life.” 
 
Clarification of Terms:
Celibacy, chastity, and purity are three dimensions of the same topic.
Celibacy is the choice of a single life; the choice of a state without sexual relationships.
Chastity refers to restraining oneself within the bounds of proper sexual relations; mainly referring to external behavior.
Purity refers to the insides of the soul; not only to external behavior but also to the condition of the heart.

Simplicity, Frugality and Poverty
February 11, 1981
Rolling Hills Covenant Church
 
This is session #5 of an 11-part series called “The Disciple, the Disciplines and the Triumphant Life.” 
 
Tim, I’m working on recreating the handout. I think it’s just the list of session topics with the scriptures for study.
 
DEFINITIONS
Simplicity: A lack of disjointed complexity in intention and will.
Frugality: Consuming only what is necessary.
Poverty: Absence of resources.
Simplicity and frugality are commands of the scripture. Poverty is not.
