Notes jumbled about in my bible

Omnipresence-He is in our past, present, and future

Priests never sat down. There were no chair or benches in the tabernacle because their work was never done. Jesus Christ was the only priest to ever sit down. He died on the cross, resurected three days later, ascended into heaven and now He sits at the right hand of God. He sits because His work is finished.

Only if a man chooses to get up and go to the LORD for purity daily then he wil get slaughtered by Satan through sin.

Don't be embaressed to believe in the bible. Be embarresed not to believe in it. The world is always wrong, always changing its mind.

If we reject the wrath, the law, or the truth of God it is idolotry and our worship will be rejected.

If you are not grieved over your sin how can the Spirit of God be in you?

Faith is trusting in the LORD and living our life for Him

We must worship by faith

We must walk by faith

We must obey by faith

We must live by faith

Jesus loves children, therefore we should love children. Children are a blessing from God and we must cherish every moment we get with them. Children were created in God's image. Children need Jesus, therefore, we must lead them to Him. It is our responsibility to do what we can to point them to Christ. Jesus must be first in our lives, home, and family. He has to be the center of our home and be our numer one priority. We must live as an example, teach, discipline, and evangelize to our children. We must be like children in the sense that we are dependent on God and humble.

Reality is, only christians battle sin. Those who claim to be christians yet there is no Holy Spirit work in their lives they have a false conversion. If you cofront yourself and your sin for man then you are not truly following Christ. If you battle sin for God then you are right.

If all Christians were like yourself, where would the church be?

Why do men have a distaste for the truth? Humility. The truth says we need Jesus to meet the needs that we can not ourselves. And the LORD needs to rule our lives. Men don't like that. Humility .

Men don't like to hear the truth, so they replace it with falsehood. They take false prophets.

How do we prevent this? Preach the true word

If you have a God great enough and powerful enough to be mad at when He doesn't stop your suffering, then you have a God great enough and powerful enough to have reasons you do not understand.

Christ talks about being the life. This is more than a physical life-this is a spiritual resurection. We are born in sin-spiritually dead, and Christ is our resurectiong giving us spiritual eternal life.

We as believers may also grow cold. And this is when we driftfrom our LORD. And we need the power of revival. This is the life Christ offers. He is the life that a soul is revived. Not saying salvation is lost, but a soul may need to be reawoken.

Why does God allow suffering into the world? It is mans sin that brought it in. Mans rebellion permited suffering. And God could have left us in this alone, but He sent Jesus to save us.

God doesn't owe anyone anything

Justification: God declares us not guilty. He declares us rightous.

Rightousness is through Christ and not works

Jesus is the only one acceptable to God. Therefore we must be in Jesus

The scariest enemy to have is a holy God

Jesus and the substitutionary death is an absolute necessity for sinners

God hates what man loves

If the cross slips from the centrality of Christianity the moral decline will be great

The cross is the foundation of Christianity

Greek work for excrutiating means "from the cross"

Jesus befriended who the world rejected

Jesus didn't become a sinner, but a sin-bearer that we might have rightousness

Born again Christians fight, false believers do not

Satan doesn't change the way he works, because it is working

Satan most powerfully effects us through the world system

Those who live by the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God

Works play no part in salvation. Only in living a good Christian life. Salvation is through faith and grace alone through Jesus Christ

God wants you to be holy, so do not be immoral in matters of sex. Do not be a slave to your desires

The goal of suffering is to make us give up

A sound mind brings peace, security, joy

Men are hardwired to walk in the truth, but men have rejected Him and walked in their own ways. And God could have rejected us like we did to Him, but instead God rejected His own Son

To demonstrate Jesus is supreme in your life, point people to Him

Christ is sufficient for all our needs

Our life has to be a living sacrifice. Our life must point to Christ.

Why should a Holy God allow anyone into heaven?

Trials develop perserverance

1 John 3:6 doesn't mean Christians never sin. It means that sin is not the ongoing practice of their lives

Porn, alcohol, lying--it's not an addiction, it's a flat out sin

Satans goal is to impead the advancement of the kingdom of God. He attacks with temptation, deception, and emotional/spiritual discouragement. To fight him we must be strong in the LORD. We do this by putting on the full armor of God.

We are to take our stand against Satans schemes. Satan attacks by taking something holy, Godly, rightous and he perverts it.

Strategy of Missions

Scenario: You have a planned mission trip to East Asia, yet during the time that you are in the field your friend is getting married back in the states and you really don't want to be absent. Of course, this wedding is a once in a life time event. Naturally the rational American mind will say "there are plenty of missionaries in East Asia, plus there's a team of 6 going, why do I need to be one of them?" Well, this mind-set is not only prideful, but breaks God's commands of Idolotry. Before I explain why, first I must make clear that when a man goes into ministry and missions, this man must be willing to be alone. When people are told this many believe that this is direct reference to being hated in Africa, martyred in India, and people in New York making fun of you. But this is not what it means at all. If I was to mean that people in New York will make fun of you and mock you, I will flat out tell you people will make fun of you. But when I say you must be willing to be alone, it literally means that when your friends go to gospel retreats, and go to late night fellowship gatherings, and all go camping for the weekend, then you must be willing to spend your nights with God, and in the gosple, and give up all that you WANT to do, and do what God has CALLED you to do. Ask yourself if you are willing to give up every pleasurful meeting with friends, and going to band concerts to stay home with nothing but God. Are you willing to leave for the middle of the woods with nothing but God and fast for seven days making sure that you are right with God? If you are willing, then comes the next step. When God calls you will you go? Lecrea sings "go hard, or go home," "LORD use me." It's easy to say LORD use me, but when He wants to are you willing to 'go hard'? Will you be willing to give it all to God. I can't really write what I want to say, so there may be more to come later.
