3 Ways to Better Understand Your emotions

1. Expand your emotional vocabulary. 
2. Rate the intensity of your emotion. 1-10

4. Bring God into that memory and ask Him where He was.

Evangelism: The Power of Testimony

-
 Testimony. Usually when I hear this word I think of a court room. I picture the person accused of some crime, and then I see the witness stand right next to the judge and I see the lawyer asking this witness questions and the answers this person gives is called their testimony. The testimony of the witness of a particular event can make or break this person on trial. The testimony of the witness gives proof or non proof of the events that happened. If this person on the stand gives testimony that is contrary to the claims of the person on trial, the person on trial can be sentenced to jail! The power of testimony is not something to dismiss. Three testimonies come to mind when I was prepping for this week's talk. The three testimonies that matter to you as you walk out your faith are: God's testimony about you, Your testimony about you, and the Accusers' testimony about you.  These three testimonies can change your entire life for the good or for the bad.  We know that God

Every/Neuron/Obediently/Understands/God's/Heart 1 John 2:22-27 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.

(VERSE 23) Have you ever publicly denied Jesus? (VERSE 24) What does it mean to remain in the Son and the Father?  (VERSE 25) When does eternal life start? Has anyone ever lied about you to someone else? Have you ever felt ignored or denied from your friends or family? When was that and how'd you feel? Prayer requests.

Spiritual Disciplines : Memorizing Scripture

-
 Something beneficial that he Lord tells us to do with his Word, is a phrase that he calls "hiding the word in our heart, so that we might not sin against him." Jesus called out religious leaders of his time in Matthew 23 and had a whole slew of things that the religious leaders were doing incorrectly. Jesus let them have it. He listed out woes against them. He called them names including hypocrite and brood of vipers. The religious leaders of the day were the most well versed human beings in the things of Scripture. Some of them had been studying the Torah since they were 3 years old, and it is said that some of them had memorized the entire Torah.  However, what is the point of Scripture if you have it inside your mind but Jesus is still calling you a hypocrite? Jesus is not concerned about how many words you can fit into your mind with attached book chapter and verse. He cares that the life changing power of those words are making themselves known through our lives! God
