Practical Christianity & What Doesn't Work
from Reigners Radio · host Dianne Thomas
3) Most of us don’t know what we believe. 4) We need to be practical — God is! 5) Wholeness, freedom and life are God’s provision for us — NOW! 6) We are often fighting the wrong battles. 7) A lot of what we have chosen to believe is because it fits our temperament, how we feel, our history, and how we perceive our identity. 8) We are all dealing with the same basic problems. There are only two kinds of people in the world; those that are spiritually dead, and those that are spiritually alive. Once we get beyond this, we can look at what is really keeping us from entering into life: the flesh. 9) How Do You Spell “Success”? Our true calling is to “live in the spirit,” yet we often don’t even know what that means. 10) Is what you’re learning practical? Can you apply what you’re being taught to your daily life? Is there something we can actually do to live in that promised peace and rest today? YES! And it’s simpler than you might think. 11) Man likes to make complex what God has made simple. Keep your ears open for what the Spirit is saying to you, the church, and when He bids you to come up hither, Come! 12) Accept what God reveals, even if it doesn’t answer all your questions or doesn’t seem to fit in with your other beliefs. We like to understand everything before we accept it, and will try to carry to logical conclusions that which God has only revealed in part. 13) Is what you’re believing working for you? Or are you counting the days until you can be whisked away to your reward? This is not what God intended for us — He has a purpose for our time here. 14) Avoid Religious Jargon. Instead re-phrase the concepts into something that will mean something to all of us. We trust that the Lord will witness to you personally what He wants you to know.
