Scripture: Hebrews 11
-This world is temporary and is not our final place, so why conform to this changing world.
-Sometimes you get too caught up on what’s going on in the world that you forget that we are here for a greater purpose.
-If you keep thinking about the world then pretty soon you will be back in the world.
-Moses chose to suffer affliction with the people of God over living a royal life, do you love the Lord that much?
-You have to be willing to deny yourself in order to fully give God glory.
-The world will chew you up and spit you out…

-Your affection for the world can drag you down.
-Keep yourself from the wickedness of the world.
-Christians can not and should not do everything that the world does.
-Keep yourself from idols.
-Don’t assume that just because you get the things that you want that it will make you who God wants you to be.
-Ambitions may not always mean good things, what are you ambitious for?

Scripture: Genesis 3
-The devil has a way of convincing you that stolen things are better than what you already have. Don’t give the devil your ear.

-Nothing can satisfy you like Christ. Nothing.
-Some people are not trying to flee temptation, they want the temptation.

-Men will praise you when you do good for yourself but they might not care about what you are doing for God.
-Friends of the world are enemies of God. Make a choice.
-Do not let the world make you feel ashamed about something that has nothing to do with Christ at all.
