How The Fall Impacts Us
(Audio)
5:03 |
Adam did it with eyes wide open.
he
had to choose between the god in the horizontal that God that gave
him, the gift, right? Or the God of heaven.
So every problem
we face in the world is from sin and the corruption,
We have an expectation that we're supposed to be able to go through
this life and not be negatively impacted by other people's sins.
Did Jesus deal with it? Yeah. How much?
All the time. In every way. Yeah. But, but I shouldn't have to.
And you go from
your pity party about yourself and feeling all bad about the way
you're being treated, to realizing how much you were loved.
The overcoming
happens as you convert the thought from being messed with, to being, I guess when I'm pushed on, I can get stronger.
And
Jesus, you went through this for me.
Unrealistic Expectations

if you're
struggling with things, you're having an unrealistic expectation of
life.
Other people are going to miss showing love to you.
Maybe
it's just somebody having a bad day.
you don't need to take the hit when you have a realistic
expectation that other people are going to fail you.
We're
dealing with a broken world, a completely broken world, and we keep
trying to make it right.
we're not going to be able to
make it right.
We can only do our best to submit to God and make us right.
you saved me from jail.
Now I didn't save him. He took the truth that was shared and he
integrated it,
Changing Your
Situation Doesn't Bring Peace
(Audio)
4:51 |
You can't keep a marriage together.
You have a job.
You be the best husband you can be.
it's my job to do my best at what
God's called me to do.
you submit to the leadership, even
when the leadership's going sideways.
They're human
beings and they’ve got a problem.
You pray for
them.
when they
go sideways, you don't get off caught off guard.
"What's going on, Lord, what's happening?"
There's 8 billion people in the world
and you're going to go blame it on one of them? You're having trouble
because you're not trusting God.
The only peace comes from God.
It doesn't come from having your
situation improved or changing who you're around. |
