Scripture: Romans 12
-Sadly, the truth is a lot of people don’t care what the bible says for them to do and not to do.
-People love to attempt to affiliate Christmas with Jesus but it has nothing to do with him at all.
-Just because people go to church doesn’t mean they care bout God.
Common excuses people make for why they celebrate Christmas:
- “It’s for the kids.”
- “It’s to spend time with the family.”
- “It’s about Jesus”
Scripture: Psalms 119
-What are some commitments you are making for the new year? You should be able to openly express and share your commitments with other believers so they can keep you accountable and to help you grow.
-You die if you don’t live. Keep that mindset moving forward this year.
-Spiritual decay and lack of growth is a visible thing.
