Life For Dummies
from Christ Covenant Church Hosted by R. Scott Jarrett
1. The book, "Life for Dummies" is the Bible, which means the less you know and believe, the more you reveal yourself to be a dummy. (Is 8:20) 2. Life is a test, and God is the proctor of that test. He is the one judging/grading how you do. It is why you exist. This is our purpose: pass His test. Those who pass the test seek Him through the constant, consistent, and permanent practice of learning about Him. (Heb 11:6; Jer 29:13; Jer 9:24; Col 1:28; Col 2:1-10; Joh 1:18; 2 Pe 3:17-18; 2 Pe 1:16-190 3. Because life is a test, you will be tested. (Deu 8:2; 1 Pe 4:12-18; Jam 1:1-2; Phi 1:28 w/ 1 Pe 4; 1 Co 10:13; Eze 3:8; Rom 6:20-22). 3.1 We choose one or more of 3 things that are overcomer killers (e.g., enhancers). 3.1.1 Ignore, or refuse to believe, God's Truth. (Rom 1:18-24; Deu 8:2) 3.1.2 Give in to fear. (Eze 3; Rev 21:7-8; Psa 11) 3.1.3 Listen to the lies of your flesh and the world. (1 Joh 2:15-17; 1 Joh 2:3; Eph 5:5-6; Jer 17:9; Heb 3:12; Rom 8:4-14; Eph 4:17-24). 4. The key to passing life's test is overcompensating conviction, the inverse of the overcomer killers. 5. Dummies go to hell. Don't be a dummy.
