Purpose Driven Life Day 5.

POINT TO PONDER: Life is a test and a trust.

 VERSE TO REMEMBER: “Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won’t be faithful in large ones.” LUKE 16:10A (NLT)

QUESTION TO CONSIDER: What has happened to me recently that I now realize was a test from God? What are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me?

Answer :  After watching todays message from Rick."WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT I BELIEVE"

I realised that going through my tests that I had to change my belief pattern.

You cant change your behaviour without changing your beliefs

I liked what he said in the notes with the message.

What is a worldview? 

He showed me God made me for His purpose......(Theism). This is my worldview now. But before I changed my thoughts I could see myself in the other worldviews... 1. Materialism

2. Individualism.

3. Hedomism.

4. Pragmatism.

5. Naturalism

6. Humanism.

7. Theism.

"For everything, absolutely everything,above and below, visible and invisible...everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him." Colossians 1:16 (MSG)

So it does matter what you believe...it shapes your worldview.

Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." Proverbs 4:23 (TEV)

"If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what He reveals, they are most blessed." Proverbs 29:18 (MSG)

"Always be ready to give a logical defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you, but do it courteously and respectfully." 1Peter 3:15 (AMP)

So to strengthen my worldview I need to

*Learn What Is True.

*Discern What Is False. (This has came up 4 times in the last 2days)

*Turn From The World To The Word.

*Concern Yourself With God's Agenda.

"God will give you all you need from day to day if you make the Kingdom of God your primary Concern." Luke 12:31 (NLT)

Now I do believe I am not just talking my talk but I'm actually out of my boat and walking my walk on the water 🙏

Rick mentioned a guy called Chuck Colson so when i went onto amazon i noticed a book called Walk Your Talk and the picture on the front cover was a guy walking on water...

Just something my Pastor said to me...lol 

Rick Warren, Charles Colson, and Gerard Long are wise, Biblical critical thinkers. In 8 Video sessions, this trio of cultural scholars gently guide new believers across deep waters. They explore key issues such as life and death, good and evil, pain and suffering, truth, sin, reconciliation, history and the future - introducing new Christians to a different world view - one that views things the way God does
