5 April 08Pastor Daniel-Romans12:2-renewing our mind is the change of our life.-we either move towards God or away from God.-sometimes we commit ourselves but it is just the external which is not important-Christianity is a process designed by God. it does not guarentee a change but it renews our mind-challenge a lie with the truth!Renewing our mind is a 2part process.1) we got to take out the old2) we got to put in the newTaking off the old-we must learn to identify lies, misinterpretations, false ideas.-we are not able to work to our potential because of the conventional lies.-what we believe determines how we behave-biblical imperatives apart from biblical thinking results in short term obedience and long term frustration-colossians3:9-10-we must change our belief.-we must remove the dirt in our life and pour in the clean water.-when our belief system is messed up, our whole being become messed up
LIES
1)honour our parents?-it changes based on circumstances. but it does not change!!2) i've always been this way?-when we look back on our track record, we blame everyone but never make an effort to change-second, my problem is more than God can handle. (WRONG)3) Everybody else is doing it, God doesnt take it as serious.-God forgives us for our sins but we must bear the consequenses of sin.4) i can handle it5)one time will not hurt-behind each of these statements is the belief that there are no consequences for sins that are commited only once.6) nobody will know-angels and God knows. people will eventually find our.7) but i'm in love-toughest lies are those dealing with our emotions.-emotions are temporary, consequences can last a lifetime.-love is the anti thesis of sin (sex)-lust is rationalizing for sin! love is not!3short test on finding the lies1) examine yourself and find our areas that we are overly sensitive.2)examine your strongest temptation? -always camouflaged and supported by lies.3)examine areas in which you have inordinate fears.
I love you, God! ❤
