OUR RESPONSE:

How Are You Living Biblically?

• Are you seeking the Lord’s direction and design in your life? How does this impact your daily decisions?

Be seeking His face and His plan daily!

• Are you basing your decisions on your feelings or other’s opinions or on the Word of God?

Be in the Word and know the Word so you know the direction and decisions to make.

• How do you deal with closed doors and dead ends? Do you try to go around them or try and open them anyway?

Discern what He is trying to show you and tell you so that you are directly in the center of His will and plan for you.

How Are You Living Desperately?

• Are you living your life in such a way that you know you can’t make it without Him?

It doesn’t have to mean you are in jail to be desperate or even circumstances, but no doubt they can make us realize or need for Him in a greater way!

• Are we willing to praise Him in the midst of dark days and dungeons of our lives? Does our worship reflect this truth?

It’s not easy to do and really impossible unless we live in such a desperate way.  May we worship Him in light of our desperateness for Him!

How Are You Living Evangelistically?

• Do you realize the impact you can have on someone as they are watching your life as you go through the high moments but especially the low ones?

Let us live in such a way that others can see Jesus in what we say and how we live our daily lives.  And when the opportunities arise, may we share Jesus readily & boldly!
