Topic: Suffering

Notes:

- What impact has your reaction to your problems had on others?- God used people in trouble to write His word: Paul wrote as a prisoner chained to a praetorian guard- If it doesn’t come out of pain, it doesn’t produce- We all have trouble in our lives; somebody else’s pain is bigger- God’s plan is to bring Jesus into glory, that we follow Him, and that the gospel be increased- Statistics of Paul’s opportunities to minister to guards- American Christians are not suffering as those in other nations- People are looking for an example of the believer- Joseph... why am I going through this?- Do I believe what He said? Do I act like I believe?- What will I do in these chains?- We would rather be delivered from than developed in this- Moab at ease, settled on his dregs (not poured from vessel to vessel)- We want to be left alone but need to poured out again and again until nothing is left but wine- Paul & Silas praised the Lord anyway; there are prisoners all around... the greatest impact you’ll have is when you lift Him up

Notes:

- Warning of deception concerning the way we live and leadership- Know the scriptures- With multiple leaders & teachers, you will be confused and uncertain- Glen Beck (Mormon) calling people back to God & Country- People are apt to be deceived if they care more about restoring the country than about knowing God deeper and fuller- You cannot continue in sin and inherit the kingdom of God- Sometimes we think we are wheat when we are tares- It is possible to think you are saved but not be- When you are saved, you know it.- The deception of sin... gradually we move into it, get used to it, then become okay with it.
