We need an army of God that's going to rise up and say,
"No, I am not going to be choked by those thorns!"
You are commanded to come to God
and give yourself over to Him for His control.
As for justification, no work, nothing, nada.
Nothing! No works. Only looking away to Christ alone.
But as to sanctification, much work.
Hard labor, diligent effort, self denial, mortification.
Having been created in Christ Jesus unto what?
Good works.
It's all because of Christ.
The believing Christian has an advantage over a sinning unbeliever
in that he has entered into the fantastic realm of forgiveness
made possible by the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Don't look for something inside of yourself to try and be saved.
You must look outside of yourself.
You must look away from self and to
Jesus Christ hanging on the Cross for your sins.
He came down in the person of His Son.
He came down from above into this fallen world
and invaded human history in the person of His Son.
Brothers and sisters do you realize that throughout the Scriptures,
God doesn't just do the saving thing, He does the kind thing.
Do you know that?
The daily choices we make,
determine our future usefulness in ministry.
Young people listen,
what you are doing right now in your life
is far more important ultimately
than what you will do outwardly down the road.
The choices you make now will determine
God's choice to use you and make you fruitful in the future.
What kind of choices are you making?
Peter's foot dragging is met by the Lord's lavish love.
Why don't you let down your net for a catch Peter?
And I'll bring in so many fish
that your entire business will be in jeopardy of sinking.
Time, time, time.
It's only accelerating as we get closer and closer to the end.
It's just like this thing is going faster and faster and faster.
And it's more of a blur, it's going by, and we realize;
I'm going to get to the end very soon.
We need to live while we live,
and we need to live resisting the thorn patches.
By the grace of God, I have power in Christ,
I don't have to be defeated by this any more.
And you give yourself afresh to God,
and lo and behold you're different after that.
We invite you to join us for the 2014 Fellowship Conference in Denton, TX.
April 17-20th.
