Offbeat week 3


"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction;whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."     Galatians 6:7-9
We make about 5,000 decisions every day ranging from "Will I get out of bed?" and "What will I wear?" all the way to "Will I give in to the world in this area of my life?" When answering these questions we have one of two ways to respond: the narrow way or the wide gate. The narrow way leading to eternal life or the wide gate leading to destruction. After concluding week 3 of "Offbeat", hopefully you and I both will remember, "Direction not Intention determines your destination." (Andy Stanley)

Here's a catch-up from last night:
"When we choose to sin, we choose to suffer!" We reap what we sow! Jesus came to free us from sin; He didn't come for us to live in it, still.
"We are as close to God as we choose to be." 
Living offbeat can be on of the loneliest places. DON'T GIVE UP! We will reap a harvest!
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17
If someone was to mimic you, would they be mimicking Jesus? 
Is your twitter account imitating Jesus? Would He sign His name beside your tweets?
"We have to live for God's APPROVAL not man's APPLAUSE!"
"Jesus wants a full-time commitment not a part-time follower!" 
"Is heaven or hell celebrating your decisions?"
Your friends play a huge role in where to go in life. Where are you going?
