who excites
lustful emotions in others." Let us study this with careful thought. The
world today advertises the fact that this or that will give "sexual
appeal." This is lasciviousness. Wearing clothing that does this is sin.
Acting in a way to cause others to have lustful emotions is a sin. That
is, if a person purposely acts in this way, or dresses in this way.
Speaking words and making signs that does this are sins. Oh, God is
calling for a pure and holy people! His church, which is made up of holy
(sinless) people, is without spot and blemish and has been cleansed and
made pure through the blood of Jesus Christ. (Eph. 5:27). We must be
pure to be in it.

The next sin mentioned is _idolatry_ which means "divine honors paid to
idols, images, or any created object." (Web. Dic.) It also says it means
"excessive admiration, or love, for any person or thing." To worship any
image or man-made god is sin. There in only one true God and we must
worship Him in spirit and in truth. Also we do not want to have an
"excessive love" for any person or thing more than our love for God.
Some people allow *things* to keep them from having a true love for God.
This is a sin. If you let money, possessions, or any person keep you
from serving the Lord with all of your heart, then you have an idol. The
Apostle John said, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." I John
5:21. We are to "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy mind." Matt. 22:37. Surely that means a lot,
doesn't it? There can't be one thing or person between us and God. He
must absolutely be first in our life. Oh, my grandson, it truly is a
wonderful thing to put God first! He is so precious to my soul and I
know He will be to yours as you love and serve Him with all of your
heart! Jesus has said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt.
6:33. What God adds is just perfect even though at the time we might not
understand it.

The next sin is _witchcraft_. Today many people are turning to magical
powers and are having communion with evil spirits and the devil. This is
what witchcraft is. Fortune tellers, spiritualist readers etc. are all
of the devil and should never be considered nor tampered with. Many
have, in fun, or wanting to know something, imbibed an evil spirit and
were tormented by it day and night. God will protect His people if they
will look to H
