We live in an age where the grace of God has caused many to take God and sin lightly.   It is crucial that we really understand what it means to be in awe and deep respect of a perfect and holy God.   This alone will revolutionize the sloppy way in which we all are prone to overlook and justify the many daily sins.   But more than anything it is at the core of our need to glorify God in our thinking and believing.   It is an essential foundation to our trusting God fully. In this class we wrap up with discussion on how to obey the command to Fear God and how to pursue this goal in our daily lives.   This is the final lesson in this series.

I bring up some questions about discussing the sins of others which clearly opened MANY cans of worms ... so next week we will deal with that thoroughly   If you would like to follow along with the detailed handout you can go to our ministry website to download and print them.  The downloadable PDF of the "FEARING GOD" hand out is at the bottom of this page https://renewedhopebiblicalcounseling.org/audio-resources   Please check out our other podcast where Karen and I discuss life issues with Bible answers. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/biblical-answers-4-life-change/id1796495877

This is the last on a warning and theology and practice of not being a gossip or slandering.   The first two weeks did most of what we needed to cover and this week we are simply just discussing scenarios and how we can apply this to parenting, etc.   If you would like to follow along with the detailed handout you can go to our ministry website to download and print them.  The downloadable PDF of the "SHARING SINS" hand out is at the bottom of this page.   PLEASE NOTE that this is NOT normal teaching notes as it is NOT normal teaching.   Rather it is a attempt to get a good solid theology of how to handle this.   so ... bear with the handout :) https://renewedhopebiblicalcounseling.org/audio-resources   Please check out our other podcast where Karen and I discuss life issues with Bible answers. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/biblical-answers-4-life-change/id1796495877

We are very close to the end of the "Fearing God" series and I brought up the warning about "sharing" with others details of other's sins against us.  This happens so often and is USUALLY done in a sinful manner with sinful motives and much aftermath.   This obviously was not a wise idea to bring up in the last 10 minutes as a "i really want to challenge you about this" ... SO ... we did the full hour LAST WEEK on the Theological issues guiding this discussion.  THIS week we will spent the hour further explaining and doing some answering.  We will most likely do a week of just discussion and questions next   If you would like to follow along with the detailed handout you can go to our ministry website to download and print them.  The downloadable PDF of the "SHARING SINS" hand out is at the bottom of this page.   PLEASE NOTE that this is NOT normal teaching notes as it is NOT normal teaching.   Rather it is a attempt to get a good solid theology of how to handle this.   so ... bear with the handout :) https://renewedhopebiblicalcounseling.org/audio-resources   Please check out our other podcast where Karen and I discuss life issues with Bible answers. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/biblical-answers-4-life-change/id1796495877

The greatest command is to Love God with our whole being.  If God commands this then His word is clear on what this means and how to do it.  This is our goal for the next number of weeks as we go through the topics of "loving God", "knowing God", "fearing God" and finally "trusting God".   In this class we are wrapping up the series with a few reminders and some discussion about how to grow in our cherishing and valuing of God above all.   If you would like to follow along with the detailed handout you can go to our ministry website to download and print them.  The downloadable PDF of the "Do You Love God?" hand out is at the bottom of this page https://renewedhopebiblicalcounseling.org/audio-resources   Please check out our other podcast where Karen and I discuss life issues with Bible answers. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/biblical-answers-4-life-change/id1796495877
