Revival of the Basics

Pastor Bart Young

How can I get control of my life all the time?
~Joshua 22:5

*God never commands you to do something that is impossible or unreasonable.

TO LOVE THE LORD:
-Deuteronomy 6:5
+ in the n.t. they added "your mind"

<3
but your emotions are all over the place
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
God is the same yesterday, today and forever!
-------------------------

your soul = when you aren't trying
your strength = with all you have
your mind = your thoughts

you can't just pick one - you will be renewed when you use all

GRACE -> our motivation
when you just have salvation you are missing out on more that God has for you
~serving God is a way to get closer to Him

I have salvation & forgiveness of sins. Why do I need to do anything else?
-you don't have to but once we fully understand what God has done we should want to

1. Put God first
2. Take out the trash (change)
~Romans 12:2
3. Take some responsibility for your life
4. Have a plan
This week *Finish my devotional and start my new one*
If you have a plan, its ok for it to change, but at least you are going somewhere and doing something
5. Do something
~Proverbs 24:30-34

God will meet you where you are if we take that first step
