You got a high calling.

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that God, as the source of our standards, must also be the source of our strength. It warns against compromising those standards and then expecting positive spiritual outcomes, akin to poisoning a well and expecting clean water. The practical takeaway is to establish and commit to God's standards, even if imperfectly, by drawing a spiritual "bloodline" in Jesus' name to stop behaviors that contradict them and to press forward with a high calling.
