• Going Over Staying
• Investing Over Consuming

LIFE TRANSFORMATION OVER MORE INFORMATION

We strive to become what Christ calls us to be and do by applying what we are learning.

Romans 12:1-3; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Colossians 1:28; Ephesians 4:15; James 1:22-25, 2:14-26

Demonstrated By:

• Continual spiritual & numerical growth in all areas of our church
• More people understanding their call to be a disciple who then makes disciples
• A continual emphasis on, not simply attaining more knowledge, but also a lifestyle of obedience and application of God’s Truth

I Must Decide & Declare Who & What Is the Standard

I Must Not Be Deceived

How Can We Deceive Ourselves & Not See the Distortion? 

• We Close our Lives (Eyes)
• We Conceal our lives
• We Compare our lives
• We Compartmentalize our lives
• We Control & Comfort our lives
• We Compromise & Condone our lives

I Must Deliberately Determine Where I Am Spiritually

I Must Delight in & Depend on Jesus

I Must Dwell in & Deposit the Word (The Being)

My Life Must Demonstrate the Difference = Transformation (The Doing)

We must not just Glance at our lives or simply Glance at Jesus or His Word – We must Gaze into THE MIRROR (Our Savior & His Standard) and allow Him to Gaze into us.
