 AmazinG Race Relay Leg #3 |
August 24 – McCain and Obama and God’s Choice -  - Dig Deeper - Outline In our race to read through the Bible in one year this week we read through Proverbs 21 which deals a lot with leadership and the power of leadership. There is much wisdom here that citizens can garner to lead them in making important decisions concerning both the proper leaders to follow and the proper issues to see as important. Not only do we have an amazing race for the leadership of our country, but we also have an AmazinG Race for the leadership of our soul. The Scriptures are an excellent guide for leading us toward the right path in our life, if we use them responsibly. August 31 - Recession-Proof Faith - - Dig Deeper - Outline We live in scary times for a nation that has been used to having it their way and having it all. Because of our lust for more and for bigger and to get it all right now rather than waiting for it as God blesses it and hard work produces it, we have found ourselves in the middle of massive foreclosures, a falling economy, rising gas prices, and uncertainty about a solid future. In scary times our values, or the lack thereof, rise to the surface. The counsel that God gives us in Psalm 40 out of David’s life will serve to guide us in making our decisions based upon principle rather than circumstance. |
