1 Cor 3:12-15
> You can build – even upon a foundation in Christ — with worthless materials!
> Temporary materials which grow from the earth = wisdom and ideas which originate from the earth
> OR materials which have been purified by fire, or formed with fire and pressure
> Sometimes, it’s God’s mercy that he tears down the old house to build something new SLIDES
Matthew 26:1-28
1-4 The Pharisees (and others) seek a sign: SHOW GOD TO US IN THE WAY WE WANT HIM TO APPEAR
> A sign from heaven – You mean apart from all the miracles he has already done?
> Seeking A God who is at YOUR beck and call…who responds to YOU?
> You cannot discern the signs of the times: because you will not change your understanding. It’s got to be predictable, and just like we expect it!
5-12 Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees
Mark 7:6-9 You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition
> Valuing their traditions over the revealed word of God: “wisdom” flowing from having God “figured out”
> They stopped learning, and tried to remake God in THEIR image, instead of letting God remake them.
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN CANNOT BE BUILT UPON THE PRECEPTS AND TRADITIONS OF MEN!
13-20 upon this rock I will build My church
> THE ROCK = revelation and response to the voice of the Father! Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you
> Peter rejected the voice of his generation and accepted a heavenly revelation which no one else had yet declared
21-23 you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.
> Nothing will interfere with God’s work in and through us more than this
> We want to do it “our way” – but God ALWAYS has a better way in mind. AND HE’S IN NO RUSH
24-28 whoever loses his life for My sake will find it
THE CROSS IS GOD’S TOOL FOR REMOVING THOSE THINGS WHICH WILL JUST BURN UP AT THE LAST DAY ANYWAY
> It’s merciful for Him to tear up all we’ve built out of wood, hay & straw NOW…so that we can learn to build with those precious materials for the remainder of the time we have.

If I am scrutinizing websites, frequently I like to look at content articles I
stumble on. Most of the time, I’m able to uncover brand new data, or a modern means of investigating issues that I hadn’t considered earlier.
When this happens, I’m almost always appreciative.
Considering the fact that I might not have the chance to go online so much, as a consequence of my job as an at home massage therapist, I seek to take benefit from my activities online.
Americans now have got to learn a great deal more on the subject of
any of these subject areas, though there seems to hardly ever end up being
ample free time. Following available free time for friends
and relations, and needless to say having a job, what available free time is left to
commit to studying some of these vital theories?
Being an individual doing post-partum massage therapy, in conjunction with planning websites
and running a few different servers, precious time is undoubtedly a commodity that I
commonly do not have a sufficient amount of. Almost
certainly, I am capable of finding the occasion important
to examine this fundamental article more honestly. Many
thanks for giving this particular laudable web page.
What I literally care most about is wellness topics.
By myself, I subscribe to magazines dealing with this subject matter, and I
continue up to date about the most recent health lab analyses.
In what way is this important? Personally I think there’s no more important concentration for my time.
Also, this site seems as though it’s worth the time to check out
again. I dig through hundreds or more of blogs weekly.
Honestly, my back nearly always hurts and I desire a different spare time interest.
lol Nevertheless, I think if almost everyone wrote about their place in existence, and did so articulately, we’d have a
more interesting Earth.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
I just can’t believe that all the things we concern ourselves with in our lives makes a difference.
All the time put in taking into consideration the assorted things that people experience every single and every day is certainly really
important, as no other woman is going to confront existence for
us. I feel that folk have to be a whole lot more mentally stable.
Knowledge is marvelous, nevertheless so much of what we
think about is indeed abstract. Having a cup of kava is a zen process that takes one back
to the present point in time. We have to be more in the here
and now, without being overcome by life and the crises
we experience each day.
I actually value your providing this info for folks trying
to get more info about matters such as this. Your weblog was well-written and very
well investigated, that is certainly significantly treasured.
