Thinking, Saying, Doing

(notes from a message by Pastor Bill Scheer)


Philippians 2:1-5

**Be like-minded with Christ--be in tune with all the things Christ was and is in tune with-- stop being judgemental,and critical and instead be moved by compassion.


**Who are we to be someones judge? Jesus was moved to compassion towards people who did not deserve it-- We also need to show more compassion and constant love and forgiveness towards people.-- Love your enemies is a command of Christ, not a request!


**Don't look out just for yourself-- allow yourself to be a vessel for Christ to show love towards others.


**Connect with people, we are not here to correct people, point fingers and judge; we are here to forgive and pour out God's love to people.


** A critical, judgemental spirit stands in the way of God's work being done.


**We need to correct, reprove, and edify in love, not to condemn or judge.


Philippians 2:10-11

**EVERYTHING we do needs to be done, thought, and said to the Glory of God the Father!!


**Reach, strive for a whole new level of love for people, the way God would love as to bring Him glory!!


** Every thought, every action, every deed, stop and ask yourself, does this bring God glory??


**We love people in order to glorify God, whether they deserve it or not.


** Now is the time for a fresh start with God-- START TODAY!!!
