God Thinking Pre-empt 12

"You have settled for less because much of the hype and promises made to you by well-meaning family, friends, teachers and pastors turned out to be erroneous.

Your experience doesn't match what you are told should be. 

 Your faith soon declines.  You have heard so many sermons about how bad things are, you have trouble seeing how beautiful things are.

You have been told so long that you are a worm that when confronted with an uplifting and positive Word from God, about who you are in Christ, it seems almost foreign.

You've assigned yourself to mediocrity because you've been running on regular gas for far too long.  you weren't designed to run on regular gas.  You were designed to run on rocket fuel.

You've trained yourself how to read the Word of God and not be moved.

you've become like the Pharisees; you nurture the dead and kill the prophet.

You've lessened the bar.  No longer does it take a 70% to pass.  you've lowered the bar to 20% so no ones feelings get hurt.

You are constantly restructuring to cater to men's this and women's that.

You've become seasoned manipulators.

You've become OK with boxing God in/out to meet your time constraints.

This world is in its constant state of affairs, worldly, sensual, rebellious, self-promoting, because we think on the things of the world more than the things of God."
