what do we do?
beliefs are not internal; intellectual; following Jesus is not inward; yes, man looks on the outside, but God looks on the heart; but our beliefs are revealed by our actions; practice what we preach
Why? Wrong uses of the Bible
heart of the UMC - not exclusion, hatred (although history tells us we aren’t immunte to this); biblical interpretation
weapon; tool to badger; win the argument
Knowing God; withstanding storms; sustaining ministry
2 things: hear and put into action
how many people built their own houses.
I”m seeing this as gradual, not a quick storm
need a foundation?
no
pilings/piers/stilts.
Think of the way a pier or deck is built.
Posts are planted in the ground and joists are attached.
Look at houses built in major flood plains or coastal areas, where the house rests well up and off the ground.
These houses are not built on foundations, but rather stilts/posts on pilings.
yes
hold a house above ground.
It also keeps out moisture, insulates against the cold, and resists movement of the earth around it.
compliance with building codes
2 applications: Finding God in Scripture and withstanding storms
Bible is misused in a few ways:
tool to badger
Challenge: Get close to the Words of God; God is in there!
what i told you that you can find God in the Bible - because He’s in there; get close to these words;
underline; post it notes; audio; ..;get close
epilogue - sustain us in ministry
start but can’t
