So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:27, ESV
God made us, so He absolutely has the right to set the standard, tell us what is best for us, and how we ought to live.
We should listen and obey our Creator and love Him for loving us so much.
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24, ESV
God accepts us for who we are, and then He changes us. We still have our personality, but the things we want and the way we think about things should change.
Let God change your desires. Put them on the cross, and walk with the risen Lord daily.
I have the philosophy that we are all children (i.e. children of God), so Jim’s advice today is good for little kids all the way to older adults.
Ask each other about what they learned from church, Bible study, and other small groups. Even their daily reading!Daniel
This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Talk to your Kids about what they learn at Church.

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Matthew 7:24, ESV
If our worldview, our way of thinking and knowing what is true, is not grounded in Christ and the Bible, we will be deceived by many things and wander aimlessly through life (or in the wrong direction!)
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
James 1:17, ESV
We should always give thanks to God for the good in our lives, for His promises are true and He never changes. We can trust His faithfulness.
A few weeks ago the video below was played at my church and WOW, is it powerful! We all know, even most unsaved people, that John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”.
That is an unbelievable verse that we have read, heard & quoted ourselves for years. But do we fully understand that verse? I am so thankful for His love and grateful for His mercy that He has so richly given to me. But what I have a hard time understanding is His love for someone that would not accept Him and not follow Him. In other words – Barabbas! As the video says, we have no mention of Barabbas being saved and living his life for Jesus, yet Jesus loved him.

When I first started hearing about presuppositional apologetics several years, ago, I’ll admit, it took me a while to get the concept. It’s not a way of thinking that I was taught growing up.
I was first introduced to the philosophy by Jason Lisle’s book, The Ultimate Proof of Creation. Dr. Lisle builds a strong case for the layman to understand, but I was unsure how or when to ask questions. I watched videos from Sye Ten Bruggencate, James White, Jeff Durbin, and Greg Bahsen.

How does one start? Ten Bruggencate puts it this way: “Read your Bible and believe what it says.”
