Christianity in Action 1. Because You Were Born for Glory… 2. Now Brace Your Mind… –Decisively renounce the shallowness, the values, the mind games of the Kosmos. For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one. Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. Hebrews 10: But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light… 1 Peter 2:9-10

Christianity in Action 1. Because You Were Born for Glory… 2. Now Brace Your Mind 3. Take ACTION! –NOT a life driven by appetites. The “Self-Serving-Self-Life” MORE IS LESS! 2 Peter 2:17-19 These people are as useless as dried-up sprngs or as mist blown away by the wind…They brag about themselves with empty, foolish boasting… With an appeal to twisted desires, they lure back those who have barely escaped a lifestyle of lies… They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and decay. For you are a slave to whatever controls you. “This person seeks to fill up…the emptiness of his being” - Wiersbe

The “Self-Serving-Self-Life” Self-Addiction… “Keep SOBER in Spirit...” Sin has always been an ugly word, but it has been made so in a new sense over the last half-century. It has been made not only ugly but passé. People are no longer sinful – they are only immature or underprivileged or frightened or, more particularly, sick.
