Notes:
You cannot use your own interpretation of the bible to determine what you obey or don’t obey.
You must obey the entire bible based on God’s word.
You’re either with God or against God.
Don’t let your poor examples of being a Christian be someone else’s excuse for not being right in God.
Proverbs 23:19-20
If someone popular begins to do something other people will start to do those things.
Sometimes followers did not like certain things until others did it or wore it.
Most people use the phrase “they said” when they should be using the phrase “God said”
“They said” indicates that you are conformed to the world.
Just because you were not able to choose your parents or siblings does not mean that you can disobey or disrespect them.
Colossians 3:1-
If you truly are a Christian, you should be living a godly life and seeking things that are above.
You showing up on Wednesday or Sunday is not seeking.
It can be a part of your seeking but you must also be willing to listen and learn the word.
Put your mind, heart, and attention and place it on something of God.
Some people seek the same things and remain the same person – which means that you are not changed.
When you are seeking and really want to change you make choices that represent that.
Ask yourself how do you set your affection on the will of God and not on the things of the world?
Colossians 3:1-16
