Living in a Secular World

Christian Living is HARD

If you are finding it easy then it is either a blessing or you are not walking rightly.

Our life on earth is in conflict with our Heavenly Nature

Cozy or Christian

Two Lives

We all know the feeling of living a double life.

Seeking to blend our wants and needs with that of Christ.

We need to Focus on THE THRONE

Who are you putting on it?

Where do you turn?

Things or Theo

Do you worship God?

How?

What are you customs and habits that keep you centered?

Daily Time in Scripture

Accountability Partners

Study

Church

Prayer time -— do you fix times?

Life without Meaning

The Secular World Seeks Pleasure and the avoidance of Pain

The Holy Life seeks to submit and Obey to God

Worldly People seek to LIVE today with little care of Future

Heavenly People seek to LIVE for Christ, Knowing the Promise of Eternity

Worldly People will grab as much as they can

Building up and Making THEIR LIFE

Heavenly People live for GOD and OTHERS

Building up the Kingdom and His People

True Identity

Who are you?

What is your Purpose?

WE ARE THE IMAGE OF GOD

Reflecting God's nature: Humans share some of God's attributes, such as goodness, love, mercy, justice, compassion, and holiness. 

Representing God: Humans are God's representatives in creation and are called to rule on earth in keeping with God's standards and purposes. 

Living in relationship: Humans are meant to live in relationship with one another and with God. 

How we do it

Caring for creation: Humans are called to care for all God has made. 

Treating others with dignity and honor: All people and ethnicities were created in the image of God. 

Expressing God's love through compassion: Humans can express God's love through compassion. 

Modeling God's mercy through humility and patience: Humans can model God's mercy through humility and patience. 

To know your Lord and Share Him with others, so that they may know.

It matters how we live.

The World will always leave you wanting more

The Peace of Christ will drive you to Peace, and Contentment.

In the end, we acknowledge that God created in us a DESIRE for “something”

the ONLY THING that will CHANGE the World is MORE Jesus

We need to KNOW personally,

Share in Church, Community and Culture

We need to live and BE CHRIST TO OTHERS.

How will YOU know if you Don’t DO
