If you insist on a God that accepts a certain part of your identity
Then you worship that identity, not God
Identity as God
Intentional Good
Making good choices has to be intentional
To make bad choices one can just be asleep at the wheel
The Practice of Striving
It is the practice of striving
Not the act of doing
That prepares us for heaven
Fix the World
Each side wants to fix the world by overcoming the other
To make the other side surrender to their side
And by so doing, they only make the world worse
There is only one way that the world could be fixed
And that is by each side surrendering to Christ
How the World Can Ever Change
Maybe even if I change
The world will stay the same
But on the other hand,
How can the world ever change
If I’m still staying the same
Force Follows
Without a shared moral core
We have nothing from which to reason together
And when reasoning fails
Force follows
Do You Love Jesus?
Yes, Jesus truly loves you, no matter how you live your life
But that is only half of a relationship
Do you truly love him back?
Accountability
May my first reaction to every problem in the world
And every problem in my personal life
Be “What did I do to contribute to this?”
Christian Submission
In what way have you given up your own will
And submitted to God’s instead?
And if you haven’t
And if you won’t
Then can you call yourself a Christian?
Matthew 7:21; Matthew 16:24
The Most Important Change
The most important change to make
Is to develop the ability to make changes
