Session 10 Being a God-Loving Example
How to Make a Difference You have to be different to make a difference. You cannot change anything by adding more of the same.
Loving God with All Your Heart • “What you love and what you hate reveal what you are.” • Dr. Bob Jones Sr. • Our anxietiesreveal our priorities. • Our preoccupation reveals our priorities. • Our anger reveals our priorities.
Loving God with All Your Heart • No one is ever apathetic! Every man is passionate about something. • A God-exhilarated lover is extravagant.
Extravagant Lovers • Mary’s extravagant gift • Mary’s extravagant attention • David’s extravagant praise • Paul’s extravagant service • The extravagance of our God
A Penetrating Question • Who would want to be like us? • If we are not known to be God-loving believers by our obvious extravagance for the Lover of our soul, why should those who follow us bother with Him either?
Conclusion • Those who have great impact for God are those who have great passion for Him fueled by meditation upon His Word. • All of us are masters at meditation. • The next generation must be tempted with God.
