Wake up O Sleeper

As i read this morning in Ephesians, (the Lord told me yesterday to read Eph 5) some things stuck out to me.
Starting in verse 3;
3 Don't let sexual sin, perversion of any kind, or greed even be mentioned among you. This is not appropriate behavior for God's holy people. 4 It's not right that dirty stories, foolish talk, or obscene jokes should be mentioned among you either. Instead, give thanks [to God].

and then again starting in verse 10
"Determine which things please the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the useless works that darkness produces. Instead, expose them for what they are. 12 It is shameful to talk about what some people do in secret. 13 Light exposes the true character of everything 14 because light makes everything easy to see. That's why it says: "Wake up, sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." 15 So then, be very careful how you live. Don't live like foolish people but like wise people. 16 Make the most of your opportunities because these are evil days. 17 So don't be foolish, but understand what the Lord wants."

Only then after making clear his heart for purity and for righteousness does the more familiar phrase "Wake up, sleeper!" come from the lips of the Lord. I have often thought of these things in reference to black and white, along with the more majestic imagery of those of us who have been redeemed vs: those who have not. But when you get past the sexual sin stigmas we have managed to build to make ourselves feel like we've arrived at some level of righteousness before unattained by saints who risked far more than morning coffee to strive for the image of the likeness of Christ, you might find that "sexual sin, and perversion of any kind, or greed" seem quite glaring and obvious. However, if I think (much less pray) about these things, I realize that they are so much more common than we want to think. Perversion of any kind, includes not just sexual perversion, which is a skewing of something holy and righteous but all other flavors of perversion as well. By that token, comittment to a ministry for the kingdom of God could be perverted if taken out of the context of not just God's will, but his WAY. If i were to focus all my heart on my external ministry for the kingdom of God, but neglect in the slightest, my Wife, and my home; that is just as much perversion as the lewdest sexual sin.

When the word says later in the same passage to walk circumspectly (in the KJV, the above is from the ESV translation) as it is defined in strong's greek, "akribos ak-ree-boce' adverb from the same as 196; exactly:--circumspectly, diligently, perfect(-ly)." The part that sticks out to me is the one about dilligently, PERFECTLY". Seems like a high call, and it is. From the beginning of scripture God has asked that we be Holy, because he is holy. Through the Grace of Christ we're enabled to do all things righteous, because we are given already "according as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue" II Peter 1:3.
