Life With God

Philippians 3:12-16

Admit It
Are you a perfectionist?
I am, and my failures drive crazy!
Luckily, for all of us, there are NO perfect Christians - just forgiven ones
Important point though, you are not perfect, never will be.

Our goal is to grow to be like Jesus.

There is NO finish line to your Christian walk/life.

You just keep plugging away.

Limit It
Be a one thing kind of person.
What you love - eat, sleep, dream - is your thing.
Paul was known for his passion for Jesus.

Give up anything that separates you from Jesus.
Take joy in learning and understanding of Jesus.

Forget It
Let nothing come between you and your and your future in Jesus.
Let go of your past.
Paul had to let go of his past and who he was!

Move on with your life.
Yesterday's failure need not define you.
Yesterday's successes do not define you.
Let God do a new thing in your life ....

Commit
You are not forced to do anything.
But, you need intentional effort to succeed.
Try, be available, be there - you will be used.
Be in fellowship.
Be in discipleship.
Support a ministry/participate in a ministry.
