14. What do we do with stuff? Buy it, use it, sell it or throw it away! Today what gives things value? If it is useful and if it look good! Today we value people the same way: Valuable if they can do useful things for us and if they look good!

15.  Cut off from the source of LOVE the great I AM! Now we are ruled by the “I am not…!”  Try to get love from the outside in. Instead of the inside out.  Whatever meets you need for love – WILL control you.  Mt 12:34, Jer 17:9, Prov 4:23, Ps 139:23, 1 Sam 16;7, Prov 23:7, Ehp 4:26, Mt 6:21

So now all you know is what you know. = pathetic!!!  Fallen world with it’s fallen structures/cultures telling you fallen things about your fallen self and you in your fallenness believe it! And so now reflect the fallen world,not the LORD!!  Believing the lie! I am not….. vs. I AM!
