FOUNDATIONS FOR OUR LIVES |
|||
|
As you consider the truths below, they may or may not be new to you. If new, you have the opportunity to have a new perspective of this part of your relationship with God, based on truth rather than the lies of the Devil. Whether each foundation is a new thought or an old one, the real question is how good of a job are you doing at embracing it. In other words, are your actions and reactions consistent with someone who acts as if these are true? In order for this tool to be instrumental in effective and hopefully lasting change in your life, it is crucial you do not just read this, but for anything you do not have complete victory over, that you meditate on the truth, ask yourself the application questions, and complete the Study Guides. |

|
This is where each foundation is looked at in depth while presented in a simple, understandable way. Readers who thought they had victory in a particular foundation have been convicted of a need to grow when readying through the Digging Deeper section. |

This is where the "rubber meets the road." This is where the tough questions get answered. This is where you consider application to your life. This is where you can print the study guide and other documents. |

CORE PRINCIPLES 1) Knowledge without application is useless. 2) THE foundation for our life is God's love and God's power. 3) THE pathways Jesus gave us for our life are to love God and to love others. 4) EVERYTHING in our lives is a gift VIEW OF OURSELVES AND GOD 5) ALL good and all love is from God. LEARNING ABOUT GOD 6) It is God's will that you get to know Him. LIVING IN THE WORLD 7) The purpose of the past is for us to learn from it, the present to glorify God, and the future to trust God. 8) It is not about us, and our desired way; it is about God. 9) Difficulty in our lives comes from the fall. 10) God often uses the consequences from the fall, (sin and corruption), which results in our hardship to discipline us, to teach us about Him 11) Motives Matter. OVERCOMING DECEPTION 12) Nothing and nobody in the world are fully trustworthy. Our only source for guaranteed truth is the Bible. 13) The deception in our lives most often comes from worldly thinking. 14) We naturally forget. We forget both people's unfaithfulness and God's faithfulness. |

The old text version of Foundations can be found here. |
Foundations is presented as individual topics.
Although some topics refer to another topic, they are independent of
each other. A read through the summary of each foundation can be
completed in about 1/2 hour. That
said, it is much more profitable to read and contemplate the topics,
one at a time,
over several sessions. Most topics include very helpful digging
deeper sections.
