Scripture: Proverbs 16
-If you pay attention and study the word God is preparing you for situations in your life.
-You know a lesson has stuck with you when you actually do it.
-DO NOT be conformed to this world.
-There used to be a clear distinction between Gospel singers and worldly artist. Now days it’s hard to tell.
Scripture: James 4
-Most people are only concerned about satisfying their lust, not doing God’s will.
-Your desire to be in and of the world can make you an enemy of God.
-If you are befriending the world then you are at warfare with God.
-Don’t give up your relationship with God for a friendship with the world. Guard your heart.
-Stop seeking to always be apart of “what’s going on” because what’s going on could be against what God wants.
-Choose wisely because you are choosing sides.
Scripture: Romans 12
-Measure yourself with truth and not with feeling.
-God wants you to transform, not to conform to the world.
-What did you change from and how are you so different than what you used to be?
Scripture: Proverbs 23
-Stay away from alcohol, drugs, and parties. Simple.
-If you say you are sorry but then turn around and do the same thing…how do you expect people to believe you?
-A lot of people are not sorry for what they’ve done, they are just in an emotional state.
-Some people RIGHT NOW are planning the same sin that they just apologized for last week.
-Stop leaving traces for your sin. Repent, move forward, and be done with it.
-Stop just expressing how you feel, express what your commitment is as well.
-Don’t use the bad things that have happen in your life as an excuse to not do the right thing. Rise above.
-If you are feeling lonely then why don’t you go befriend somebody else?
Scripture: Psalms 119
-Think about who you are.
-Add God to your upcoming plans.
Make commitments not excuses.
