Part 1of2

Paul is finishing this letter and he like a father is encouraging this wonderful church to keep doing better. He gives them a list of things to work on so they don't become stagnant. He wants them to not get sidetracked with their doing well and exhorts them to continue to mature in their faith.

God is so patient! He is patient w/ His people and He is patient w/ sinners. But there will come a time and His patience w/ sinners will stop. The Day of the Lord will be that day. Are you ready? Are you in the LIGHT?

Do you understand the value of being with God?
Are you too busy to get a lone with God?
Are you too busy serving God to be alone with God?
If you are alone with God, do you know what to do?

Wake up! Don't fall asleep or the enemy will find you and get you. Put on Jesus, put on His armor and keep going for Him. The enemy is real and you cannot see him. So, pay attention, watchout, and stay in the presence of Jesus. 

It would be unimaginable that in our racing, a racer wins the championship, comes into the paddock to celebrate the victory, and gets awarded the trophy, and no one is there. It's a ghost town. It would be alarming and sad. The rider puts in a whole season of hard work and wins; at the end, no one celebrates with Him. The same happens with Jesus. Take a listen. What do you think?

Sin gets us. It gets us because we let it happen. We walk around it, then stand by it, and then we sit with it and let it do its work. Nor more...

Is there anything more important than Jesus? Your answer is probably no, and you would be correct. But our lives, our time management, our ministry, our marriages, etc., do not support what we think.

What happened in this message has never happened before and will never happen again. My wife, Dawn, and I have talked about it a lot. There were lots of lessons learned and a lot of ministry accomplished as a result. Some of what happened I may never know the real answers until I see Jesus someday. Take a listen.

God is UNSTOPPABLE. He will return at some point, and no one can stop what is coming next. They will try, but their weapons will have no effect. Trust God. He is perfect and...UNSTOPPABLE.

I remember being warned by a mentor when I got out of Bible School and into ministry. He said there are two things that will probably haunt you your whole ministry and life: sex and money. He was right. They are constant temptations. He also told me that if I could keep people out of my life, ministry would go way smoother! Haha! He was joking, of course.

Sexual purity is essential. Self-control is also necessary to honor God in this area of your life. What interested me here was that I have a responsibility to keep myself from sin. God is not going to do ALL the work for me. It is Him and me together.
