At the beginning of my freshman year at Cornerstone I started writing down notes from sermons, chapel, and missionary sessions. The notebook is now full…it was amazing to look back through it and remember all that the Lord has taught me though the preaching, teaching, and encouragement of godly people over the past year and a half. Here are just a few tidbits from that notebook.
The preaching of the cross shows the love and grace of God, which no other way can show. NEVER STOP PREACHING THE CROSS!
Christ is glorified through sinners being conformed into the image of Him!
To bring glory to God should be our highest motivation!
Make your plans in pencil – God’s ways are not our ways.
Good judgment comes from the Word of God.
Is there anything we do that does not have to include God?
Is God just a fire escape to me or is He the ruler of my life?
We base much of our theology on what we sing and the music we listen to.
The Spirit NEVER leads us to be entertained by evil.
Jesus is the greatest blessing ever given to man!
Two thirds of Moses’ life was spent in preparation. God is constantly preparing us for what He has for us in the future. God’s time is different then my time. God is not concerned with time as we are.
Bringing glory to God does not come through what I do – it is what Christ does in me and through me!
I am identified with Jesus Christ. How does knowing this affect the way I live?
Christ was born to die so that we may have life!
God’s work needs to be done in God’s way.
Knowing God helps us to live right.
Our lives are a manifestation of what we think about God.
The fire purifies the gold. When the goldsmith can see his face reflecting in the gold he knows it is pure. The Lord purifies us so that we are a mirror of Him.
Often we want God’s approval of OUR plans rather than HIS plans
Thankfulness Gage – My thankfulness is a gage of my relationship with Christ.
Do not sacrifice truth for “peace”.
When I pass up an opportunity to share the gospel with someone because I say “Oh, they probably won’t accept it” is me not having faith in God’s power in the gospel of Christ.
“Grow in Grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. AMEN” – 2 Peter 3:18
