Fasting is a way of taking spiritual authority over your body for the glory of God. It is an act of worship because it puts God first, and it is an act of discipline because it reminds us that we are capable of controlling ourselves. Greg discussed the lack of discipline in the church, why its there, and what we can do about it.

Relativism is the denial of an absolute by which we live our lives. We decide for ourselves what is right or wrong rather than conform to God’s will for our lives. Greg confronted the lie behind this sort of thinking.

The unity of the church is a theme often overlooked in Evangelical culture. We forget that Jesus said, “Whoever is not against us is for us!” Greg reminded the Church at large that Christ who unites us is much greater than that which divides us.

Just as people who are married listen to each other, so also Christ listens to his Bride, the Church. We need to take our communication with God more seriously if we want to grow as individuals and as communities of faith. Greg continued this discussion of prayer and its role in bringing about a revival in the church.

Since we are in Christ, the responsibility and authority that we forfeited in the fall has been returned to us! We are to go out and speak peace to the world and spread the good news! Greg continued to describe some of the patterns that precede revivals.

Some things can be passed on from one generation to another. Faith and spiritual passion are not among them. Each generation, in fact each individual, must experience the power and presence of God for themselves. Greg discussed what a revival is and what we can do to be ready for God to “revive” us.

Spiritual health depends on our believing the truth that God has revealed to us. Spiritual sickness amounts to believing and then living in the lies that the world tells us about ourselves. Greg continued to discuss the path to freedom from bondage to false beliefs.

As spiritual beings, we are responsible for our thoughts and actions. Don’t let the world tell you who you are! We are to take captive every thought and bring it under the authority of Jesus Christ. Greg challenged the church against conforming to the lies of the world.

Life teaches us that bad things DO happen to good people. Have you ever wondered what it means that “all things work together for good for those who love God”? Greg reviewed some biblical examples of how God uses bad situations to further the Kingdom of God.
