  2. What kind of encounter with God? . . . define your terms . . .

  3. “I DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD.” “WELL, WHAT GOD DON’T YOU BELIEVE IN?..MAYBE I DON’T BELIEBE IN HIM EITHER . . . “

  4. DEFINE YOUR TERMS

  5. SO . . . WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT GOD?

  6. DID YOU KNOW? • Romans 9:13 (Mal. 1:2-3) • Exodus 32:14 (KJV) • I Kings 22:20-23; 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 • Psalm 5:5; Psalm 11:5 • Isaiah 45:7 (KJV)

  7. Who thinks God is love? Romans 9:13 (Mal. 1:2-3) 13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” 2 “I have loved you,” says the Lord. But you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob 3 but Esau I have hated.

  8. Who thinks God doesn’t make mistakes? Exodus 32:14 (KJV) 14 And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

  9. Who thinks God is True and not the “Author of confusion”? I Kings 22:20-23; 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 23 Now therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the Lord has declared disaster for you.” 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,

  10. Who thinks God hates the sin, but loves the sinner? Psalm 5:5; Psalm 11:5 5:5  The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. 11:5  The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wickedand the one who loves violence.

  11. Who thinks everything God does is good? Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) 7  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

  12. HOW YOU DOING?

  14. It depends on how you say it • 3 guys traveling • Hotel room $25 • “I don’t want to divide $25 by 3, let’s do $30, so they pay an even $10 each – and I’ll keep $5.” • “Take back the extra $5 . . .” • “I don’t want to divide $5 by 3, lets give $1 back each, so they only pay an even $9 each – and I’ll keep $2.” • So, they originally paid $30 ($10 each), then got refunded $1 each (now $9 each), and the bellhop kept $2. • 9X3 = 27 + 2 = 29 . . . Where did the other $1 go?

  15. LET’S GO BACK A BIT . . . • Romans 9:13 (Mal. 1:2-3) • Exodus 32:14 (KJV) • I Kings 22:20-23; 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 • Psalm 5:5; Psalm 11:5 • Isaiah 45:7 (KJV)
