In last week’s talk, I eluded to an imbalance danger. I tried to make the point that our excitement level as a group of people who want to (and enjoy) feel God (Pentecostal) cannot overshadow the point of our existence as the church.
1. Be known for our love (John 13:34-36) and
2. To make disciples (Matthew 28).
In essence, it is important that our whole self incorporate this spiritual mandate and fight the danger of imbalance in our journey. It is paramount that we find our rhythm and place in this God-life.
Question #1
What do you believe about God’s involvement in our daily lives?
Read Exodus 3:14 (KJV)
Question #2
Why do you think people, including some writers of the Bible use human physical references like “hands,” “feet,” “eyes,” and “he” to describe God, when other scriptures state that God is spirit and has no form?
Question #3
What does it mean for you to be in or out of tune with the song? Are you in tune?
Question #4
Can you believe in God and be out of tune with the song?
Does it work the other way around?
What is more important to Jesus: what we believe or what we do?
see John 10:10 (CEV)
Conclusion
You need to find the song God has written on your heart and be in tune. The song is the rhythm of your life. In tune is the way you live with that song.
