509 – How We Got The Bible
The More Abundant Life
God 509 – How We Got The Bible 2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” All scripture is for profit; This must be something of immense value. We want to profit from the “all scripture.” “given by inspiration of God” is one word in Greek: Theopneustos – Theo, meaning God, and Pneustos, meaning breathed, or God Breathed—a figure of speech. John 4:24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” God is Spirit. 2...

507 – The Greatest Work
The More Abundant Life
God 507 – The Greatest Work Have you ever thought about what the greatest work you can do is? What is the most crucial task that you have to do in knowing God's will, which is the greatest work you can do? It is to study and search the scriptures to see what they say, then you can live that way Matthew 22:29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” We need to know what the Scriptures say and know the power of God to live extraordinary lives today. John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I...

505 – Thinking and The Renewed Mind, You Renew Your Mind
The More Abundant Life
God 505 – Thinking and The Renewed Mind, You Renew Your Mind In this session of the series on Thinking and the Renewed Mind, we will examine this as an appendix or a wrapping up of loose ends, with the emphasis now being on 'You Renew Your Mind.' 2 Corinthians 10:1 “Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:” Paul is saying here plainly that whether I am meek, bass, or if I am bold, it's all to help you. You'll see this as the context as we read this together. 2 Corinthians 10:2 “But I...

504 – Thinking and The Renewed Mind, Keeping your Mind on God's Word
The More Abundant Life
God 504 – Thinking and The Renewed Mind, Keeping your Mind on God's Word The start and the Finish of the renewed mind is to watch what you're thinking. To develop good habits by continually thinking about them from The Word. Eliminate negative and unproductive habits, and reconsider your perspective on the concepts and precepts of God's Word. A simple way to do this is to establish a daily regimen of reading God's Word and praying for the things you would like to see happen in your life and in the lives of others. I want to point out some keys, but it goes without saying that there are many...

503 – Thinking and The Renewed Mind, Seeking His Righteousness
The More Abundant Life
God 503 – Thinking and The Renewed Mind, Seeking His Righteousness God is the prime mover. Not you or me. We do not need to take on all the problems of the world. We do pray and read The Word asking God for help and keeping our minds thinking right. God does want us to believe, and He will do the fighting for us. We have an adversary, and we need to be aware without giving him too much credit. There are two kingdoms. Life and death are involved in them. Both physical and spiritual. God does the real work. Our fighting is done in our brains, in our minds, in our thinking. What do you think?...

501 – Conscience and The Renewed, Hebrews
The More Abundant Life
God 501 – Conscience and The Renewed, Hebrews Hebrews 13:18 “Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.” This is the last usage of the word conscience in the book of Hebrews. It is a good target for us to get to. We're willing to be honest. A person with an honest conscience. The worst that he could do is an honest mistake, not one of intent, to harm anyone. You cannot control people who understand righteousness. That is what religion does. Politics is also a religion. Both religion and politics are all about guilt and blame. God and His...

The More Abundant Life
God 500 – Conscience and The Renewed Mind, Part 2 Conscience is your mental awareness because of your previous learning, thinking, and experience. Because of the love of God that's in our hearts, we can now help others by sharing The Word of God with them. Everything starts with what you're thinking. What are you thinking about now? If you line your thinking up with The Word of God, you can watch what you think, speak, and do. 2 Corinthians 4:1 & 2 “Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not...
