- Pst. Kong Hee

Accepting of Others

Lk 10:1-3
We're lambs among the wolves
Lk 10:5;7;7
1. Bless the lost
To bless means to speak well, encouraging, praising people
2 Cor 4:4
2. Fellowship with them
3. Find a need to meet
Find a wound to heal
4. Share the gospel
Acceptance does not mean approval
Eccl 7:16-18
Don't be overly righteous!
1 Tim 4:1-3
We rely on the Holy Spirit not on our pastors for our actions
Abstain from everything
Spectrum in life -> from inmoral to amoral (culture) to moral
Being godly is not being compelely moral
Christians should be receiving good stuff in life with thanksgiving!
God is not colourless & miserable
1 Tim 4:6
Rom 14:1-2;5-6;22-23
Walking in the Spirit & faith not fear!
It's easy to have rules to live but that's being weak in faith
Strong faith brings great freedom
Acceptance means showing respect even if you don't agree

Die to yourself
Don't let your feelings to rule you!
Let the word of God to rule you!

When we ask God for something bigger, He'll have something to test about us before He could give it to us.
In order to go up higher, we need to go deeper.
God is more interested in our personal life than our church-life!

We're only spiritual when we do the word & not only knowing the word.
It's not easy to stop living to our feelings but it's easier than living in bondage to our emotions
Live boldly!

Stop thinking to the point of death!
Remember God is for us!

Jesus understands!
Stop looking at what is wrong with you & start looking at what is right with Jesus!
Make a difference in the world with God!
