Practical Christianity & What We Believe

1) Truth is a Person — Jesus Christ Himself.

2) None of us has all the truth.

3) Most of us don’t know what we believe. That which is truth, from God for us at this time, will stand the light of day. That which doesn’t, well, it wasn’t bringing us life anyway. So let it go!

4) We need to be practical — God is! There are things we can do, and stop doing, by which we can cooperate with what God is doing.

5) Wholeness, freedom and life are God’s provision for us — NOW! God wants us whole, complete and entire, and will not cease his efforts until we enter His rest.

6) We are often fighting the wrong battles. We’ve been distracted by battles that have already been won, yet are not taking up the sword where we need to.

7) A lot of what we have chosen to believe is because it fits our temperament, how we feel, our history, and how we perceive our identity. As our perceptions change, our beliefs will also change.

8) We are all dealing with the same basic problems. There are only two kinds of people in the world; those that are spiritually dead, and those that are spiritually alive.

9) How Do You Spell “Success”? What it would look like to truly live the Christian life. What would it feel like? Would we think differently, act differently?

10) Is what you’re learning practical? Can you apply what you’re being taught to your daily life?

11) Man likes to make complex what God has made simple. Keep your ears open for what the Spirit is saying to you.

12) Accept what God reveals, even if it doesn’t answer all your questions or doesn’t seem to fit in with your other beliefs.

13) Is what you’re believing working for you? He has a purpose for our time here, and if we don’t learn it here we will have to learn it in the next age to come.

14) Religious Jargon.
