sunday’s scuds (november 29, 2009)

Sunday was the finale to the Can You See Him? series. Dwight talked about seeing God in your difficult times. Strong wrap-up. Here are the scuds:

• Most of us try to see God. But trying doesn’t cut it. It takes more than trying. We have to be trained to see him.
• There’s a big difference between trying to do something and being trained to do something.
• Many of us have never been trained to see God.
• When we merely try, we don’t have as much invested. Training involves serious commitment.
• Satan’s #1 goal is to convince you that Christianity doesn’t work.
• The greatest thing about the Bible is: it’s true.
• While we don’t always live in reality, the Bible always deals in reality.
• You can not act inconsistently with you think.
• When you can’t see God it let’s you know that your mind and your heart are not right.
• The way you look at your problems is actually more important than the problems themselves.
• How do you know when you have the right perspective? When you know the difference between the temporal and the eternal.
• When hard times hit us we should not ask, “Where’s God?” Instead we should ask, “God how can I leverage this for your glory?”
• There are only two things that will last forever: the Word of God and you.
• Everybody spends forever somewhere.
• When you get your mind right (the way you think) and you get your heart right (what you care about), you’ll see God.

A new Christmas series starts December 6. It’s going to be goooooood!
