OLD COWBOY — WIFE IN PASSENGER SEAT OF TRUCK STORY
WE CAN’T HAVE YOU LIVING AN AWESOME CHRISTIAN LIFE
NEGLECT YOUR TIME WITH GOD
1 O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.
DON’T READ BIBLE — DON’T PRAY — DON’T DESIRE GOD
NEGLECT GOD’S HOUSE
13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
SOMEONE INVITES YOU SAY YES — SPORTS ON SUNDAY YES — DON’T SAY NO THATS RUDE
QUIT COMING ALL TOGETHER YOU FORGET GOD IS EVEN THERE
2 I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.
STOP SHOWING UP — DON’T HEAR FROM GOD — NONE OF THAT POWER AND FAITH STUFF
IF YOU DO COME DON’T WORSHIP — DON’T LISTEN TO THE SERMON — STAY DISTRACTED — TIKTOK IS WAY BETTER
HANG AROUND THE WRONG PEOPLE
33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
DATE SOMEONE WHO’S NOT A CHRISTIAN — HANG OUT IWTH SOME BAD INFLUENCES —
QUIT TRUSTING PEOPLE ALL TOGETHER HONESTLY — BEEN BURNED BY A CHRISTIAN??
WHO YOU HANG AROUND MATTERS
1 When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. 2 Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, 3 four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. 4 They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. 5 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”
HE SAW THEIR FAITH…
25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
GIVE IN TO TEMPTATION
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
DON’T THINK ABOUT CONSEQUENCES — ENJOY LIFE — YOLO
SKIP EVERYTHING GOOD — GIVE INTO EVERYTHING BAD
BAD DECISION JUST = WHO I AM
ONCE YOU KNOW JESUS JUST SIN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN — CAUSE HE’LL JUST FORGIVE IT — THEN YOU WON’T EVEN BE ABLE TO HEAR GOD ANYMORE
LOVE THE WORLD MORE THAN YOU LOVE GOD
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.
STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING GODLY — BATHE IN ANYTHING WORLDLY YOU CAN FIND
LUST OF FLESH — BUY MORE STUFF
LUST OF THE EYES — JUST SIN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
PRIDE FO LIFE — LIVE HOW YOU WANT
IF ALL ELSE FAILS… FAKE IT!
13 The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.
DON’T ACTUALLY LOVE JESUS JUST ACT LIKE IT
DON’T REALLY TITHE — DON’T ACTUALLY WORSHIP — DON’T BE ENGAGED
WE WONT EVEN KNOW WHEN YOU DRIFT CAUSE YOU’RE SO GOOD AT FAKING IT
HAVEN’T WE ALL LIVED THIS AT SOME POINT??
ARE YOU DRIFTING? — MAYBE YOU CALL IT BUSY
DRIFT TAKES A WHILE — YEARS ACTUALLY
SLOW PULL — NO ONE CHEATS OVERNIGHT… ITS A SLOW DRIFT
