Which Is Smoother

… we are not godly. We are constant sinners; how can people like us be saved? We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our

righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind. Isaiah 64:5-6 NLT

Page 5: The EXTRAORDINARY

No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless.

No one does good, not a single one. Romans 3:10 NLT

John 15:5 NIV

I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in

me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me

you can do nothing.

phonies themselves, can spot a phony.

• It provides a surface which others can touch

LET GOD BE GOD

• Seriously consider how little you actually understand about God

• Seriously consider how unlikely He is to ask you for advice

• Seriously consider that His grace makes no sense. He just does what He wants to do.

DON’T KEEP SCORE

• For starters, we don’t even understand the game.

• Even if you win, you lose.• Scorekeeping makes you

untouchable.

AVOID THERMOMETERS

• God’s temperature is always normal

• My temperature doesn’t affect God’s temperature

• Others’ temperature doesn’t affect God’s temperature

• Constant temperature taking just makes everybody sore

IN THE PLAY OF YOUR LIFE, PLAY YOU

• Nobody else can play your part

• You can’t play another’s part

• Listen to the director, not the other actors

• Play to an audience of one

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do

for the Lord is ever useless. 1Cor 15:18 NLT
