6. Jesus called the children over and said,
“Let the little children come to me!
Never send them away! For the Kingdom of God
belongs to men who have hearts as trusting
as these little children’s. Anyone who doesn’t have their
kind of faith will never get within the Kingdom’s gates.”
(Luke 18:17 – Living Bible)

7. Insanity is doing the same things
over and over and
expecting different results.
(Albert Einstein)

8. To reboot your faith in 2017,
you must first have a real
relationship with Jesus

9. I count everything as loss compared to the possession of
the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord . . .
For my determined purpose is that I may know Him,
that I may progressively become more deeply and
intimately acquainted with Him,

10. perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders
of His Person more strongly and more clearly …
(Philippians 4: 8, 10 – Amplified Bible)

11. God has given men eternal life and this real life
is to be found only in his Son. It follows naturally that
any man who has genuine contact with Christ has this life;
and if he has not, then he does not possess this life at all.
(I John 5:11-12 – Phillips Version)

12. Here, I’m standing at the door, knocking.
If someone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him . . .
(Revelation 3:20 – Complete Jewish Bible)

14. To reboot your faith in 2017,
you must be intentional
about your spiritual growth

15. Just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust him, too,
for each day’s problems; live in vital union with him.
Let your roots grow down into him and draw up
nourishment from him. See that you go on growing
in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous . . .
(Colossians 2:6-7 – Living Bible)

17. To reboot your faith in 2017,
you must be regularly connected
with other Christians

18. We must consider how to encourage each other to show
love and to do good things. We should not stop gathering
together with other believers, as some of you are doing.
Instead, we must continue to encourage each other even
more as we see the day of the Lord coming.
(Hebrews 10:24-25 – God’s Word Translation)

19. All the believers were together and had everything in
common. Every day they continued to meet together... they
broke bread in their homes and ate together . . .
day after day, in the temple courts and from house to
house they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the
Good News. (Acts 2:42, 44, 46-47, 5:42)

26. To reboot your faith in 2017,
you must invest yourself
in a meaningful ministry.

27. Since God has shown us great mercy, offer your lives as a
living sacrifice to him. Your offering must be only for God
and pleasing to him, which is the spiritual way for you to
worship . . . Each one of us has a body with many parts,
and these parts all have different uses.

28. In the same way, we are many, but in Christ we are all one
body … We all have different gifts, each of which came
because of the grace God gave us . . . Do not be lazy
but work hard, serving the Lord with all your heart.
(Romans 12:1, 4-6, 11 – New Century Version)

30. To reboot your faith in 2017,
you must give generously

31. Remember —a farmer who plants only a few seeds
will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously
will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your
heart how much to give. Don’t give reluctantly or in
response to pressure.

32. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”
And God will generously provide all you need.
Then you will always have everything you need
and plenty left over to share with others.
(2 Corinthians 9:6-8 – New Living Translation)

33. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus:
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
(Acts 20:35 – New Living Translation)

34. God wants his children to become like Him.
He wants you to learn that you can give without loving
but you cannot love without giving.
(Rick Warren)

35. God loved the world so much
that He gave His one and only Son . . . (John 3:16)

37. To reboot your faith in 2017,
you must continually tell others the
good news about Jesus

38. Tell all the nations how wonderful he is!
Tell people everywhere about
the amazing things he does.
(1 Chronicles 16:24 – Easy To Read Version)

39. Be wise when you engage with those outside
the faith community; make the most of every moment
and every encounter. When you speak the word,
speak it gracefully (as if seasoned with salt),
so you will know how to respond to everyone rightly.
(Colossians 4:5-6 – The Voice)
