Oooh, this one stung a bit. I don't get into it in the lesson, but I sent a text the minute the recording was finished. I don't know that it will start things back to friendship with the person, but would you please offer a prayer on our behalf? Thank you! I will do the same to you, generically now, and specifically later if you let me know who and how.

We must be a restorative people. Christ is so merciful, kind, patient, and forgiving. And we come up with so many reasons not to be this way. We site the error of the other person, or external factors that make the relationship a lost cause. Praise God that He didn't do that with you or me. Live the love you have from God.

False Worship vs. Faithful Worship

1) Worship is about Me vs. Worship is about God

2) Worship is What I want to Give vs. What God Desires

3) Worship is about Chasing a Feeling vs. Truth Producing Affection

4) Detached from Emotion vs. Engages the Whole Heart

5) About Proving I'm Right vs. About Drawing Near to God

4 WORDS FOR WORSHIP (CAFA)

1) CONFIDENCE in God

2) ADMIRATION of God

3) FASCINATION with God

4) ADORATION for God

Use these. Pray with them. Explore them. Make it ALL ABOUT GOD! Everyday, everywhere, everything, including Sundays.

What is the most important thing or person in your life?

How is that demonstrated Daily? Weekly? Monthly?

Is it possible to say someone matters, and consider them always a part of your life, but marginalize and overlook them along the way? I believe it is. I know it.

God deserves so much better. And so does my wife. Join me as we explore the kind of daily planning and focus that can put first things (first People), first, and that can actually bring stronger relationships and greater potential into every other endeavor of your day, week, and life.

The peace of God comes when the presence of God is the abiding force and comfort of our daily lives, regardless of circumstances. But if God is this close to us, what is He doing? We know the Word is the source of God's revelation, but what is the daily impact of His presence?

God does amazing things in the lives of His people. He works in us, on us, and around us in great ways. Let's explore a few of those mighty acts. He is involved in the lives of unbelievers and believers, in personal ways. This, as we discussed, is not a sin of partiality. It is a great comfort and hope.

I am prayerful this episode will affect your faith, the way you see God, your reading, the way you explore God, and your prayers, the way you call upon the hand of God, for you and for others.

Three Takeaways from the Article:

1) The tongue reveals the wisdom we live by.

2) Being right is not the same thing as being wise.

3) Peacemaking is not weakness - it's the highest form of wisdom.

And... three practical things to do this week:

- Audit your most recent conflict

- Start praying James 1:5 specifically

A.W. Tozer's "The Pursuit of God"

7 Questions/Rules for Self-Discovery:

1) What do you want most in your life?

2) What do you think about most often?

3) How do you use your money?

4) What do you do with your leisure time?

5) What is the company that you keep?

6) Who do you admire and imitate?

7) What makes you laugh?

"Hardly anything else reveals so well the fear and uncertainty among men as the length to which they will go to hide their true selves from each other and even from their own eyes."

Be honest with yourself. Then be honest with the Lord. From where you are, where you truly are, can come beautiful things, even if it begins with repentance.

I will cut to the application chase in the show notes. Once you've thought through the illustration of the man scaling the brick wall, and considered how to pray, here is a list of areas where you might pray for BOTH success and failure:

1) Career and Education Choices (What if the ladder of success is a wall?)

2) Financial Wisdom and Independence (Is the "love of money" dangerous?)

3) Relationships, Particularly Marriage (What matters most here?)

4) Christian Service and Ministry (Who is this about?)

5) Physical Fitness (Do you want it if it becomes addictive?)

6) Knowledge (Defeat my sense of knowing if it makes me prideful)

Others may include:

- My Family's Worldly Success (Are we proud of the right things?)

- Being Right (Do we speak to win or to learn?)

- Comfort / Peaceful Living (If it makes us less like Jesus, is it good?)

- Popularity / Influence (What are the dangers if I am not prepared?)
