Each week Craig Simmons brings thought-provoking biblical worldview questions to the forefront that will assist you in living a victorious Christian life.
GOD’s SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE
TODAY in the world we live in many people and even some people who proclaim to be of God, that is a Child of God, have a problem with the way that God governs His universe. Often times question God and even to the point of challenging God's wisdom with the limited wisdom (worldly wisdom) that we possess. This leads to many problems, especially when we consider that all of our problems come from us and that all of the solutions we need comes from God. We want to look at the Governance issue of God and how we should view things as well as have solutions for our problems in a Biblical way.
THE FIRST THING WE WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER UNDER THE RULE OF GOD IS HIS CREATED ORDER. DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS?
Q: WHAT KIND OF SPIRIT DO MOST MEN POSSESS TODAY?
Q: WHAT KIND OF SPIRIT DO MOST WOMEN POSSESS TODAY?
Q: GOD COMMUNICATES WITH ________ AND NO SO MUCH _________?
Q: SHOULD WE (USA) BECOME INVOLVED IN OTHER COUNTRIES BATTLES? IF YES OR NO EXPLAIN YOUR POSITION?
Q: IS THE WORD OF GOD CHANGING YOU (COMPARE 1 COR. 15:1-4 AND 2 Peter 3:18)
Q: WHAT CONCEPT IS MISSING FROM PEOPLE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THESE TWO PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE IS SAYING ABOUT CHRISTIAN LIVING?
Q: CHRISTIAN LIVING IS A ________ NOT AN _______.
Q: WHEN IT COMES TO ABORTION MANY CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT IN CASES OF RAPE OR INCEST THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE – HOWEVER, WHAT IS YOUR BELIEF?
Q: JESUS CAME TO EARTH AND FULFILL THREE OFFICES ASSIGNED TO HIM BY GOD: _______, _________, AND _________.
1.IN THIS ROLE HE CAME WITH A WORD FROM GOD _______.
2.IN THIS ROLE HE WENT TO SPEAK TO GOD FOR US _________.
3.IN THIS ROLE HE WILL RULE OVER US AS GOD _______.
IS THERE A PLACE IN THE BIBLE WHERE THESE ROLES ARE SPELLED OUT ACCORDING TO GOD’S PLAN? DO THESE ROLES HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH US TODAY?
Q: DOES THE BIBLE SUPPORT CAPITAL PUNISHMENT TODAY?
THERE ARE THREE MAJOR INFLUENCERS IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY THAT FAVORS MUCH OF OUR TIME AS WELL AS WHAT WE ARE INVOLVED IN WHEN IT COMES TO OUR DAILY LIVES. THESE THREE AREAS ARE VERY INFLUENTIAL IN HOW WE PERCEIVE THINGS ARE GOING IN THE COUNTRY. THESE AREAS ARE _________, ___________, ___________. ALL THREE ARE VERY MUCH AGAINST GOD AND ESPECIALLY AGAINST JESUS UNLESS THEY ATTEMPT TO MAKE JESUS A GOD WITHOUT A STANDARD THAT SUGGESTS HE (JESUS) CAN BREAK THE LAW OF GOD. ISN’T THIS THE SAME THING SATAN DID WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO TEMPT JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS?
