\"\"What does God want from you?\u00a0 If you listen to a lot of religious talk, you\u2019ll get an endless list of: your house, your car, your life, your money, your kids \u2013 everything.\u00a0 And often times you\u2019ll leave confused thinking, \u201cWhy did God give me all these things if he only wants them back?\u201d<\/em> The truth is, God only wants one thing, and one thing alone.\u00a0 And that is your trust<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So today we talked about how to Look Up<\/strong>. \u00a0Not look up to the stars or the sky, or look up to some small-g god<\/em>, but look up to the God Who created you and redeemed you.<\/p>\n

That leads us to the question: \u201cWhat do you believe in?\u201d <\/strong> We talked about the four choices that you have: I believe in me, I believe in nothing, I believe in everything, I\u2019m a truth-seeker.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is an important issue, for no one is a Christian because they\u2019re a Christian.\u00a0 At least, they shouldn\u2019t claim to be. The truth is, Jesus Christ was very clear about his truth claims<\/strong>, that He and The Father are One, He is God incarnate; that He is our one and only God, Lord, and Savior.\u00a0 We need to embrace Him that way, or not at all.<\/p>\n

We gave the options you have when it comes to Christ; you have to choose one and then live with it.<\/p>\n

Then we talked about the three demands God makes on your life before a genuine connection is made.\u00a0 We talked about what they were and how to make them work for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
