Personal ApplicationDo I have a good sense of my relationships? Do I tend to be a part of group to just belong or a higher reason?

| 2012-02-04 - Ministry - Pick Up Your Sword Matthew 4:1-11 As Christians we constantly live under spiritual warfare. The battle between Satan and God constantly rages. In this passage we see just a glimpse of one skirmish. Satan attacks with his weapon-temptation, and Jesus responds with his skillfully sharpened sword: the Word of God. In this clash Jesus is able to defeat Satan first because he sees the battle,and second because of his passion to fight it with the scriptures. Question: Do you see the battle? Do you know when you are being tempted, or do the devil's enticements escape you and you easily fall into sin? In these scriptures Jesus teaches us how to fight back. (V.4) When daily temptation and sin come we have to have deep convictions that we need the Bible. (Satan's first temptation was doubt. "If you are the Son of God") Are you tempted to ignore your desperation for God? Are you desperate to be right with God? Are you tempted to skip your quiet times? (V.6-7) Are you tempted to test God? Do you think, "If he doesn't answer this prayer, then I won't pray anymore," or "He didn't do that, so I am leaving." Does bitterness or persecution tempt you? Tempted to doubt the kingdom or the scriptures? Tempted to doubt the only church in the Bible, the salvation of family members, or tempted to ignore certain passages Cling to the truths in the scriptures, they are your most powerful weapons. (V. 8-10) Q: Are you tempted by the world? Tempted by their ease? Their power? Their leisure? Tempted to worship what they do-money, attention, praise, desire? (Ps 73) Write down the temptations you are most susceptible to. Find a scripture passage in your QT that will help you fight back. |

| 2024-02-01 - Truth (part III) Can truth be known? Athiest may start with "I don't believe in God!" Would you be willing to look at the evidence? Evidence can not convince the unwilling Complete agnosticism is self-defeating - "truth can not be known" and believe it to be true (a true claim) Truth can be known? YES Can all religions be true?
Major differences:
"Tolerance" means that you are suppose to except all religions to be true
You shall not judge - it is a judgment Elephant parable (world religions are objective vs objective) - may seem persuasive until you get to one question - what the perceptive of the narrator, isn't it an objectiveone? |
