Are you a controller or a controlee?


2 COR 10:1-5      Standard of the World
1. Culture: Everyone is doing it so why can’t I. It’s the way of the world.
2. Tradition: We’ve always done it this way so why change?
3. Logic: Does it make sense logically?
4. Emotion: Are you doing it because it feels good? Like that last big purchase, the last drink.


2 TIM 3:16-17      Word: our standard
1. Teaching: In faith trust God and his scripture. Learn from it and let it be your teacher.
2. Rebuking: Using the word to tell you what is wrong and refusing to do that so that you may do what is right.
3. Correction: Using the word to correct your life and the way you live.
4. Training: Become accountable to and for others so that you may change. You cannot live in sin and the word at the same time.


ROM 12:1-2      Determine Destiny
1. Offering: Whoever controls your thoughts controls your life. Offering yourself to God is your choice and no one can do it for you.
2. Conformed: Conform to the word of God by renewing your mind, changing your ways in this world to the ways of God.
3. Transformed: Renew your mind so you may be able to test and approve Gods will.
