The Rock San Diego – 9/7 message

• Live in the world, but don’t be OF the world – the rules by which you live are God’s rules
• Don’t get hung up on what’s going on on earth
• Everything you connect yourself will be gone in heaven – even marriage
• Wake up to and deny the pressure to deny your faith
• Don’t put your faith in your pocket – Satan is trying to shut you up
• Guard and protect your heart – Satan is always trying to trip you up
• Your emotions are uncontrollable – and they will tell you one thing one day, and another thing another day – just because something feels right, doesn’t mean it is right
• Live to please God, not people
• Do everything in love – doesn’t mean you give everyone everything they want
• Whatever you do, do it by representing the Lord
• Every single person on the planet earth is a person of faith and a filter of world-view
• Love is a step of faith, like God is a step of faith – how do you know either exist?  You just do.
• We are in a spiritual battle – the world wants to eliminate the Christian worldview
• Wake up and walk the fine line
• Justice is getting what you deserve – don’t ever ask for justice
• Grace is getting what you don’t deserve and can’t pay back – pray for grace
• Mercy is not getting what you deserve (punishment)
• Sacrifice your body to God – He wants to take your talents and abilities and magnify them for His glory
• Be wary, if your views are shaped by or are shaped like the world’s views, take another look at what the Bible says about it
• Do it God’s way, and you’ll be happy
• The one thing that you absolutely can not do is compromise your faith
• I must obey my father, and whatever consequences the world gives me for that, I’ll take it
