Romans 8:16-17 Verse 17- For a Christian you got to suffer- you have to give up some stuff as
a Christian. As a Christian, you don’t get whatever you want or whatever you pray for. Being a
Christian is not being cool according to the world.
Philippians 1:27-31 People are going to hear of your affairs and what you are doing. You got to
strive together. Who are you striving together with right now? Verse 28- It is obvious that when
you get saved that there are going to be people that will not like you. Jesus was not running
around with his hat to the side and trying to be cool. Verse 29- You also have to suffer for his sake.
Mark 8:34-38 Verse 34- this is real Christianity. You got to be strong. Verse 35- If you are still
trying to fulfill your life and do what you want to do then you are not saved. You ought to be better
for Christ than anything else. What if you were Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley and made it,
but you were depressed and end up dead. Verse 37- What are you exchanging for your soul?
God will take it back- your soul that you want to exchange. Verse 38- You ashamed of those
ungodly people that you go to school and work with. You are a sell-out if you are ashamed of
God or his words. God will cancel the relationship with you if you are ashamed of him.
James 1:5-8 If you don’t what you should do or how you should exactly handle a certain situation
then God will give you the answer. Verse 6- You might be up or down because you don’t ask in faith.
Verse 7- You are not going to get an answer from God if you are wavering.
