Ephesians 4:17-20
Paul knew that it is really easy for believers to walk in spiritual blindness much like unbelievers do. Even though we believe in Jesus, the Light of the World, we often don't take time to get to know Who He really is , what He is really like, and how He can make us more like Him. Because of our ignorance, we end up being no different, really, than our unsaved friend or neighbor...except that we at least make an attempt to go to church regularly.
This is why believers end up with going through life with the same problems as unbelievers:
-divorce
-unwanted pregnancies
-STD's (sexually transmitted diseases)
-despair and thoughts of suicide
-boredom with life
-bad relationships with family members and coworkers
-addictions
THE POINT OF THIS STUDY?
That we will learn about God and His character...but not stop there (anybody can do that...even Satan himself!)...and that we will then learn how walking in a close relationship with Him changes our own character and helps us to walk through this world without blindly falling into the problems/traps listed above.
So here are 3 QUICK QUESTIONS for you:
1. Do you know any believers that struggle with any of the problems/traps listed above? (Don't give names or examples...just yes or no on this one.)
2. If you thought of someone in question 1, do you think when they were kids or teens, that they thought they would ever struggle with that issue in their life? Why or why not?
3. This one you don't need to answer on here, but right now, go to your Facebook, My Space, or email account (or on the phone or in person) and invite another REALIfeTEEn to join you in doing these studies on this blog. (Not just so they can go to the big activity in January for free, though that is good too!) Also, if they weren't in Sunday School this past Sunday (for any reason...sickness, out of town, conflict of schedule, whatever...) ask them to come this Sunday and sit with you. If they're shy like I know many of you are, that may be just the encouragement they need to come! In this blog, for this question #3, answer "DONE" if you invited someone just now.
SEE YOU AT THE JUDGMENT HOUSE THIS SATURDAY...MEET AT THE CHURCH AT 6 P.M.!
