Purely as in "not watching certain movies and not gossiping or putting people down, etc.? Not doing things you are convicted of? Are these good examples in your mind, Fluffy?
Bondman said: "to get as much right-living/righteousness - similar to holiness - into our lives as we possibly can!"

So, is right-living/righteousness different from holiness? Can you give me an example of right-living, Bondman? I'm just trying to figure out if I am living righteously.
Does this include dressing yourself decently too? It could include a whole lot of things couldn't it? I noticed in my new church that the women dress a lot more modestly than they did at my old church, and it is noticable. But they don't seem to look down on anyone not dressed like them, so I don't feel bad or anything. Do you think this is part of holy living? Bonnie

I would say the things you listed above are exact great examples. as a matter of fact every moment, everything we do is examples.. we are to walk like Jesus walked.
For me I find when I go to do something, I say to myself is this somewhere where Jesus would go, is this something Jesus would do.. if not.. then don't do it.. hmmm ahhh having to battle the temptation at that time is what makes us stronger.
Tonite at dinner my friend has a blind date .. this is one of the gals that I encouraged to find the Lord .. she is 40 never had a bible.. (she does now..  ).. anyway she was in the worry of what to wear etc.. I told her just to be herself and go and enjoy the evening with a new friend, with no expectation.. I often think of my first dates.. years ago.. man I was looking for the shirt that would show the most clevage.  yikes.. that was the old me.. now I have put on the new me in Christ.. and what a beautiful woman was looking back at me in the mirror tonite! I encouraged her to dress as she was having a date with God.. now there is a thought for us.. when we go to get ready each and every day, we must remember that Jesus is living right in our homes... our cars.. our workplace etc.. hmmmm wow!
makes ya think! doesn't it? how awesome is that!!!!
To live holy and righteous with him each and every minute because he is with us each and every minute! I needed that revelation tonight myself! whoo hoo..
