Subject:

• Forgive your brothers and sisters for their faults as you need forgiveness also for yours.
• You are no better than anyone else and you are as much of a sinner as anyone.  Do not hold a grudge toward them.  Forgiveness will set you free.
• The rebellion of man is centered around pride and refusal to allow an authority over you.  It is an anarchy way of thinking that you are above everyone and the one in charge.
• Very important to show others, in your deeds, the way of Jesus and how he did things so people can see a different way of doing things. That is walking as He walked.
• You can’t disappoint God because He knows how we are. We are sinners that will do stupid things. But that does not stop God from still giving us the grace and mercy that we need to cover the stupid things. We can still profit in Him because of His forgiveness. So don’t give up when you do stupid things. God knows we will. Trust the Lord to keep you.
•  No matter how long you have lived against God He can still redeem that time and bring you to Him. Because God loves you and God is good.
• Jesus is the standard by which we ought to live. Not anybody else. Do not compare yourself with yourself or with others as to whether or not you are doing right. We will have a tendency to think way more of ourselves than we ought to.
• It is a problem if you are not willing to give up the things you are holding on to that are more important to you than God. It’s Idolatry.
• When someone tells the truth that you need to here you may have your feelings hurt. You need to forget about your pride and receive it. Don’t reject that person because you don’t think they understand or you don’t like something about them. Keep the personal stuff out of it.
• The spirit of the world is rebellion. The world will tell you that the things that are against God are ok to do. People will tell you ” Do whatever you want and whatever feels good and that’s the way to live.” Well, that’s pretty much what people are doing. Here’s a question, If that’s what people are doing and that’s good, then why is the world such a messed up place?
