Sunday's Applications

The main purpose of this blog is to read through the Bible. This is not an in-depth study of the Bible, just an examination of it. I don't claim to be a great theologian, just a believer trying to read the Word of God, and I hope that this blog inspires you to do the same.

I plan to occasionally post other items on the blog, but they will all relate to my faith. I won't be posting neat pictures of my children being children, I have Facebook, Twitter and other blogs and email for that. But I want to come out and let it be known, that other issues of faith may be brought up. I think one I'll regularly do is go over the life applications from my Pastor's Sunday sermons.

I hope these help you also, without distracting from my main venture of reading the Bible.

Sunday's sermon was "God Displays His Power", I Corninthians 4:4-18.

Sorry, I'm not going to try to sum up the sermon, just go into the applications.

God displays his Power through ordinary believers. We need to be open to the fact that we are not too common or too flawed for God to use us. That we are common and flawed and broken is just more evidence that God is powerful. It's not that God can't use the uncommon things that are set aside for special use, but we are common and can be used more regularly. It is better to be common and used more often that fine china that is used once a year or less.

God displays his Power through believers who die to themselves daily. To be ready to serve God, we need to put aside our selfish desires. Look to Godly wisdom, and not materialism or hedonism to lead our lives.

God displays his Power through believers with eternities values in view. If we have eternity in view, we can see past immediate gratification. With eternity in view we can have a better focus on life.
