SLIDE

Climbing during Robes Course. Sliding during harvest. Sliding in Silver Wood

Christian life is climbing not sliding Head not the tail, top not bottom, city on the mountain, light (sun) on the top You don’t need to have top position to be on the top (Joseph, David). You have to be the best Climbing is the only way to the top. Everyone wants to be on the top but no one wants to climb Abraham had to climb to sacrifice while servants stayed on the bottom Lot was commended to run to mountains but he settled for plane lifestyle – he reaped what he sown Moses had to climb to meet God while people camped around the mountain Jesus went to mountain to teach, pray, tempted, meet with Moses Disciples climbed mountain to see Jesus and Moses and Elijah while others stayed on the bottom Climbing is difficult but it’s difficult path that leads to life, blessing and success (Mt.7:14) Whoever wants to be first, let him serve (Mt.20:27)

Sin is like sliding will take you down Path to Egypt is down (Abraham). Samson went down to Philistia. You will not find promise land by going down Pride took Satan down to Earth. Pride will take him down to hell Righteousness exalts a nation. Pride comes before the fall (Nebuchadnezzar) Jezebel was thrown down and dogs linked her body while Elijah was taken up by chariot If you are on path of sin by going down you’re closer to hell. Path of God by going up you’re closer to heaven If you live in sin you will miss rapture because sin always goes down

Sin is like sliding will takes you down fast When you start sliding you don’t stop when you choose, but you stop where slide ends. Salvation is God stopping you Sin has a domino effect. Sin you like will introduce you to sin you hate Saul: jealousy to murder attempt to assassination of 85 priests to witchcraft to suicide David: laziness to porn to adultery to murder STORY: Christian virgin raping his sister Sin doesn’t stop until you reach hell. Repentance is pulling down on the wire on transit Repentance stops the domino effect STORY: Pet lion killed the family If pet sins are not repented of they will lead to big sins (Cain)
