If there is dust on your Bible, there is dirt in your life
If you are in the Bible, the Bible will be in you
“You teach what you know, but you reproduce what you are.”
A good leader has a compass in their head and a magnet in their heart
Experience is not the best teacher; evaluated experience is.”
The mark of spiritual maturity is not how much you understand, but how much you use. In the spiritual realm, the opposite of ignorance is not knowledge but obedience.
Romans 6: I’m done with the old life, Romans 7: I still struggle, Romans 8: live by Spirit not flesh with no condemnation or shame Romas 11: God is awesome
Romans 12:1-2
A Living Sacrifice
[1] I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. [2] Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
1) make a choice to be holy. God will support this choice. Is this choice defense or offense, victim response or assertive leadership
2) living for God is worshiping Him is my lifestyle a form of worship? How does my body communicate worship? In shape, diet, cleanliness
3) Constant renewed thinking a) changes / transforms us b) goes against world trends renewal - a change in the way think and live have I changed? Am I different than the culture?
4) Renewed thinking involves tests forcing us to discern the will of God. Discern: ability to judge, perceive, think clearly when issues are not clear. Can I see between the lines?
5) God’s desire has standards that measured by goodness, perfection, doing what is right, accepted, approved
Verses 3- we should not compare ourselves to others. God has given each of. Portion
