Wisdom: Applying Truth Correctly Learn it, Live it – DO IT!

Step One in Discovering the Will of God is Knowing HE IS SOVERIEGN There can be only ONE

The fear of the L ORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. NASB Pr 9:10. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Understand that... God is not a means to an end – He IS the Means & the End God is not a means to an end – He IS the Means & the End When we worship idols, we are in part doing what we are supposed to be doing, only we are not doing it the way & to Whom we are supposed to be doing it When we worship idols, we are in part doing what we are supposed to be doing, only we are not doing it the way & to Whom we are supposed to be doing it God is NOT a Holy God; a Just God; a Loving God... He IS Holiness – He IS Justice – He IS Love God is NOT a Holy God; a Just God; a Loving God... He IS Holiness – He IS Justice – He IS Love

GOD IS GOD IS THE SOURCE THE SUBSTANCE THE SATISFACTION

PROVERBS 9:10 The fear of the L ORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MAN? why am I here? what am I supposed to do? who am I? should I go? should I stay? what should I do? who should I be with? what is the cost? will I suffer? why am I suffering? when will I stop suffering? why don’t others suffer the way I do? am I my own? why should I care? can I really deny myself? what is so bad about getting whatever I want? what do I want? what is the purpose? What is the end of it all?

The Big Picture – Be Wise The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and the Knowledge of the Holy One is understanding (Proverbs 9:10) Fear God and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13) Seek first the Kingdom and all else will be added (Matt. 6:33) Rejoice in the LORD always (Phil. 4:4) “If you don’t know God, you can’t know anything properly” “If you don’t know God, you can’t know anything properly”

DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART (PSALM 37:4) Don’t just mimic Godly things; be a Godly person...

God’s will is for you to be* Saved (Eph. 1:5) Sanctified (1 Thess 4:3) Submissive (Romans 12:2) Spirit-Filled (Romans 8:26-27) Suffering (1 Peter 4:19) Satisfied (1 Thess. 5:18) This is godliness... and that is great gain 1 Tim 6:6

Let’s heat the Noodle a bit... -The “determined will of God” verses the “desired will of God” -Decree verses doing -Imperatives in the Text imply wishes for God and volition for man -Wait, are the open theists right?!? -NO -Its complex

DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART (PSALM 37:4) Don’t just mimic Godly things; be a Godly person...

God’s will is for you to be* Saved (Eph. 1:5) Sanctified (1 Thess 4:3) Submissive (Romans 12:2) Spirit-Filled (Romans 8:26-27) Suffering (1 Peter 4:19) Satisfied (1 Thess. 5:18) This is godliness... and that is great gain 1 Tim 6:6

KNOW GOD WALK WITH GOD BE A GODLY PERSON THEN... DO WHATEVER YOU WANT So...

Stay Focused...

WHAT IS YOUR PRIORITY? One thing

TREASURE CHRIST/GOD ABOVE ALL THINGS Treasure everything else as treasure from Him

Baby Steps Prayer is talking to God, Scripture is Him talking back Geek out on godliness – Tozer, Puritans, Piper, Carson, Grudem, T4G, C.S. Lewis – Mullins, Lacrae, Shai Linne, Switchfoot – And Can it Be, Come Thou Fount, Great is Thy Faithfulness – Redemption, adoption, efficacious, atonement, imputation, theodicy, grace, faith, belief, wisdom, blessed Just say no Look out for leprosy Take the helmet off your ego and put it on your heart
