Sermon 8-25-02 Prov 21:2
Every man’s way seems right in his own eyes, but God judges the hearts
Vacation/trip wanted to come home….missed you
Went to church…..dry, hungry. Sat night….so glad to be back at WCC
Caring about others….how we talk, show empathy, giving, today conclu…
The source of caring…how we think….no conclusion to caring about others.
learning to think differently/hope begins when we commit to open our minds
Babies…selfish…lifelong learning process
Process of new thinking is ongoing, doesn’t end with giving life to Christ
It just begins
Isaiah 55: 8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Paul…Romans 7:14-25
2 levels of thinking
Addiction/Dysfunction/Darkness/don’t like to admit to others or self
drink, somke, drugs, gamble, eating, working, shopping, sex, sports, hobbies, beauty,
Yes you can 2nd guess yourself too much…
I have a brainsurgeon friend….no second guessing please
but that is not our problem
We are on auto pilot….
David…Darkness, Psalm 51
He was open, he was humble….
1 Cor 10:12 let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall
Today … maybe you don’t know what church is about, maybe you didn’t really want to come here…I invite you to find a new way to think. Stop, open mind, commit your ways to the Lord.
