God Almighty is worthy of all glory and honor. We’re mere men and women under the umbrella of His divine authority. So how inappropriate is it to express some kind of disrespect or dishonor to God on high? It’s almost a question that doesn’t need to be asked. Yet so many dishonor the Lord by using His name inappropriately. Does it bother God? Well, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that transgression is mentioned in God’s top ten list of commandments.

What time is it? No, really. What’s the exact time? How do we know what the exact time is? Maybe your clock is a few seconds different from mine. The defacto standard is International Atomic Time, a weighted average of time kept by over 400 atomic clocks in 50 laboratories worldwide. That’s the source that’s trustworthy. When it comes to right and wrong, Pastor Greg Laurie says the trustworthy standard is God’s Word. And we’ll consult that standard today on A NEW BEGINNING.

The Lord created us with a will of our own. In doing so, He knew some people would reject Him, but that was His plan from the beginning. And yet the Holy Spirit calls out to us, drawing us to the Lord. It’s the wise person who heeds that call. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that’s just one of the jobs of the Holy Spirit. He has a multi-dimensional role in the lives of believers. And few of us know just how involved He is in our lives. It’s about time for the whole story.

Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us to say to God, "Not my will, but Yours."

Notes

Our marching orders are clear:

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel, making disciples of all nations.”

God can and will be found by the true seeker. 

This was not about food but people, people that God happened to love.

It’s time to stop dividing and start uniting.

We too can be hard and angry toward people who have hurt us in life.

Take the gospel message to the people who have mistreated you. 

“Everything in life is preparation for something else.” —Pastor Chuck Smith 

Maybe certain things have happened to you that mystify you … remember, God is in control and the “steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.” 

Never say never!

Never be afraid to commit an unknown future to a known God.

Before Jesus prayed “if it is possible, let this cup pass from me,” He said, “Abba Father, all things are possible for You” (Mark 14:36).

We are not childish but childlike; open to and dependent on God without embarrassment.

No life is an unfinished life.

Even if it’s a short life, if it’s lived for God’s glory, it’s still a success.

Not my will, but Yours be done!

If we believe in the providence of God, we know that the Lord is in control of all things.

If we are a true Christian, we do not have the liberty of saying, “never, Lord!”

Who is God calling you to reach out to right now?

God has prepared you to bring the gospel to other people.

Jesus Christ died on the cross for you!

Parents observe that there often seems to be an extra child living in the home called, “Not Me.” “Who spilled cereal all over the floor?” “Not me.” “Who left the water running in the bathroom sink?” “Not me.” Never seen that kid named Not Me but he sure gets around. No, kids learn early on that denial may just work! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that the Lord knows our actions, and if we’ll come to Him in repentance, God will forgive our sins.

Many of us have homes full of family today. It’s especially fun to watch little kids as they wait for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive . . . or maybe their favorite cousins. They look out the window, they open the door to listen. They’re full of eager anticipation. Well, we need to have the same sense of anticipation for the second coming of Christ. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us celebrate His first coming, and eagerly anticipate His return. It’s the best way to celebrate Christmas.
