Emotions operate on many levels, physical and mental, and they bridge thought, feeling, and action ; they affect many aspects of a person our lives. Emotions round us out, as we are more than our thoughts, perception, reason, or memories. Understanding and identifying emotions so we can express them effectively is key to a healthy life.

Based on "Respectable Sins" by Jerry Bridges, this lesson examines the sin of pride; specifically, pride of moral self-righteousness, doctrinal pride, pride of achievement, and an independent spirit. The fact that God is the source of all our success, that we need to be humble in our doctrine and opinions, and that we need to maintain a teachable spirit are all emphasized.

Study on Romans 12:1-2:
The Daily Surrender of a
Disciple/Follower of Christ
SUMMARY: The entire first 11 chapters of Romans are applied starting with these verses.
I CAN DECIDE TO LET GO: v.1 “present” is in the aorist tense and means a final action, we go back to and remember.
I MUST DIE DAILY: v. 1 “living sacrifice” this is a present active verb. This means I renew this once and for all decision, all day long, as I go through life. Tied to the altar daily.
MY LIFE MATTERS TO GOD: v. 1 “holy and acceptable” explains what flavor God wants in our lives: “holy” and the goal of life is driven by loving Him so much we want to please Him “acceptable to God”.
MY FIRST CHOICE: v. 2 “do not be conformed” this is the first imperative application in this section of Romans that applies truth to the lives of believers. This word means: God doesn’t want our lives shaped by His enemy (the world).
MY LIFELONG GREAT TASK: v. 2 “be transformed” this is the great word morphed. God explains that all transformation starts with a renewed mind (anakaino). The tense is present (constantly/ongoing) and passive (God does it to us) ana = back again; kaino = new; God resets our minds back to His Way by applying His Word to my life by His Spirit
GOD CONFIRMS HIS POWER IN ME: v. 2 “prove” this word dokimadzo means ‘proof after testing’. We will find the proof of God at work in us as we test out the “reset” button for our minds. Allow Him to renew us, and when He does, He proves Himself to us.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
2. Point 14. Our sins are taken away at a crisis (getting saved) that results in a process (sanctification, but in the future the Jews sins will be taken away in a process (the Tribulation) that results in a crisis (their salvation).
3. Point 15. When you live a disobedient life, you delay the blessing but you do not cancel the promise.
4. Corollary: It is obedience that makes blessings happen when they are supposed to happen so you don't lose precious time waiting for them to happen.
5. Point 16. Your best chance for what you want is to stay in the way of obedience.
6. Point 17. Bible doctrine isn't designed just for categories in your brain, or divisions in your systematic theology; it is designed to ignite a new seriousness for God!
7. Thesis: Based on the mystery of the mercy (of God going from the Jew to the Gentile), Paul has a basis for begging the Christian Gentiles to do something.
8.
9. Foundations for the Challenge 1. Paul had to establish the fact your body was already crucified, Rom 6:11 2. Paul had to establish the fact of Israel's rejection and God's mercy flowing to you, Rom 11:30-31
10. DEFINITION: A living sacrifice means dead to me but alive to God's purposes, Gal 2:20
12. POINT 1. The power of the Holy Spirit is imperative, because holy living is impossible living without holy power, and you only get holy power from the Holy Ghost.
13. POINT 2. Worship does not start in your music, worship starts in your consecration, because praise does not cause worship, worship causes praise.
14. Counseling Tip #1. The only way out of the way you are is through Rom 12:2 and 1 Pet 1:14.
15. POINT 3. God makes your spirit new by the Spirit of God, but it is your responsibility to make your mind new through the word of God.
16. Counseling Tip #2. If you control your body through right decisions, then you have a chance to clean up your mind.
17. Definition: The word prove means to test, to try, to ascertain by experiment, to know by experience, to learn by encountering.
18. An Experiential Exegesis of the Will of God 1. GOOD WILL (permissive will)=things God allows, but doesn't necessarily approve of
19. An Experiential Exegesis of the Will of God 1. GOOD WILL (permissive will)=things God allows, but doesn't necessarily approve of 2. ACCEPTABLE WILL (directive)=you know the word of God but not yet mastered the waysof God, Eph 5:10
20. An Experiential Exegesis of the Will of God 2. ACCEPTABLE WILL (directive)=you know the word of God but not yet mastered the waysof God, Eph 5:10 3. PERFECT WILL=doing exactly the things God wants, when he wants, and in the way he wants, Eph 5:17
21. How You Prove (Find) the Will of God A. By giving willing obedience (will) B. By biblically informing your mind (mind) C. By being progressively transformed (emotions)
22. Point 4. God's will comes as a result of a life consecrated on God's altar—it starts with an obedience that manifests consecration; it progresses to a transformation that manifests renewal, and it consummates in a proof that performs God's will.
23. DEFINITION: All spiritual gifts are latent gifts; that’s why they cannot be discovered only with an inventory—they are also uncovered through ministry.
24. Point 5. Make sure your evaluations of yourself are always based on the truth of God's word, not on the experience of being in God's will.
25. Two Ways to Avoid Being a “Puff Daddy” 1. Think soberly, 1 Cor 4:6 2. Don't compare yourself against other people, compare yourself against the Bible, 1 Cor 7:17
27. POINT 7. Whenever transitional, miracle-working sign gifts appear outside the book of Acts, they always show up as a problem to be corrected, not as a method to be employed.
28. POINT 8. Any health body needs every healthy part.
29. POINT 9. We are a corporate body, but we have individual relationships.

38. Rule #1. Love in the body of Christ has to be genuine and not hypocritical.
39. Point 10. The love is already in you; your job is to simply let it flow without diverting its course, Rom 5:5.
40. Point 11. The determination of love is acting in someone else's best interest to get them into the will of God.
41. Rule #2 If I don't love you the right way I let you drag me into your sin drama.
42. Point 12. God may be longsuffering with us, but do not misread that as tolerance of evil.
43. Rule #3. Be devoted to each other as you would be to a natural family member.
44. Rule #4. Defer to the other person and lead the way for others.
45. How do you increase your love quotient? When you respond and react to your brother or sister in Christ the same way you would respond or react to God.
57. Point 15. This is one of those commandments where your obedience is sometimes determined by your circumstances, because sometimes the things necessary to obey this command are out of your control.
58. Point 16. You are not held hostage by somebody else's disobedience.
59. RULE #18. Move out of the way so wrath can pass you by and so you won't take-out your own revenge.
