ELEMENTS OF A GODLY MAN
"This right here could be a spiritual dashboard."
1.) GOD'S WORD - Pay close attention to God's word! Soup Campbell from Memphis, TN shared this word from Isaiah 50:4. Make God's Word your life goal.
2.) IDENTITY - find your identity in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You are born an empty cup and you need to be filled up in some way. Do not walk around as a needy person living a selfish lifestyle. Everything that belongs to God will come to you. Gospel centered approach to materialism. One day I will have a mansion in the Kingdom of Heaven. Gospel Perspectives on appearance, marriage, and materialism. Seek to find your confidence in Christ!
3.) DELAYED GRATIFICATION - go through life with an attitude of patience. I don't have to be anxious, demanding, or worried about what others think about me. All of my needs will be met by Christ in heaven so in the meantime I don't have to have them all!
4.) DEPENDENCE OVER INDEPENDENCE - i live to accumulate thousands of stories i can tell about God revealing Himself to me. Dependence on God. God likes to break into history and be the God of memory. Do I really value living out a relationship with Jesus Christ above everything else?
5.) SERVANTHOOD - "life will manipulate me when i follow the world, or, i will manipulate life when i follow Jesus." I am going to dominate life and use life with a mission and purpose to obey God's word and value tests and dependence over independence. Now i can move through life kicking life's butt.
