:::Little Tidbits

Here are little sayings and quotes I've gathered from just going back over my notes from the past 2 months... these are the things that stuck out most to me during my lectures::

- F.E.A.R - False Evidence Appearing Real
- Don't base stuff off emotions, base it on TRUTH.
- "If you wanna be a giant-killer, hang around giant-killers."
- Psalms 34:8 "Taste and see that God is good for YOURSELF."
- Be hungry and teachable... being teachable is out of humility.
- Do the little things in excellence - Luke 16:10.
- Get a glimpse of God's grace and go after Him with everything!
- Be GROUNDED in the word of God, be GROUNDED in truth.
- A lot of times we try to shape the Bible into what we want it to be, rather than let it shape us.
- Be 100% dependent upon hearing the voice of God.
- He is a personal God, ENGAGE in Him!
- Seek FIRST the Kingdom!
- Discipline yourself for the purpose of Godliness.
- I have NOTHING outside the grace of God.
- How long do you prepare your body for getting ready for church, compared to preparing your heart to get ready for church?
- A Disciple of Christ allows God to change their way of thinking.
- Repentence is a way of life, as is humility.
- The Enemy tries to get you to be prideful because humility helps you overcome sins like lust, etc.
- Wherever there are massive/little amounts of evil, there is spiritual warfare!
- To DELIGHT in persecutions is to be humble, to desire humility, and desire to be like Christ.

- Humility is the willingness to be known for who you REALLY are.
- You have only one life to live, and only what is done for Christ will last.
- Love God, make Him known.
- God doesn't promise you an emotional rollercoaster of a relationship in the Bible. He's under no obligation to make you feel good. He's only under the obligation of His promises. That's the cost of discipleship. It's Spiritual Maturity. You read your Bible and obey because you are willing to follow Him.
- You can do anything God calls you to do because He'll give you the grace to do it.
- What do you REALLY believe?
- The issue isn't my feelings, the issue is my faith.

- Cultivate your relationship and desire for the Lord.
- The Gospel is about how your life influences others rather than how its all about me.
- Heart of the Gospel Message: Come back home to what you were SUPPOSED to be!
- You read the Bible not as a handbook, but you read the Bible to get to KNOW THE AUTHOR!
- Humanity was never designed to have its heart broken; we were designed for Eden.
- Get out of the past and future and live the RIGHT NOW!
- Pray Desperately.
- Live with PASSION.

- Light IMMEDIATELY stops the darkness.
- Connect the dots: The way I live has an impact on whats going on in the world!
- Pain and brokenness is the fruit of a fallen world.
- Our view of the Kingdom shouldn't be to just survive and exist.
- How often do I sit in judgment on God? (eg: "God, how can You be a good God when THIS bad thing happened in my life?")
- START at the place of, "God is good." When we start there, we filter our pain through that truth rather than filter God through our pain.
- God DOES justice, but He IS love!
- If Jesus IS who He said He is, nothing will ever be the same again. The way we spend money, spend our time, EVERYTHING. Who do you say that He is?
