  4. vv. 1-3 How we are set apart

  5. The purpose of spiritual disciplines is to set us apart for Christ, not to set us apart from non-believers.

  6. “If we don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.” John Piper

  7. “More than any other discipline, fasting reveals the things that control us.” Richard Foster

  8. “For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.” Galatians 5:17

  9. Set apart- “to mark off a boundary” “It defines where I start and where I end, what is me and what is not me. It defines areas of responsibility; what I am responsible for and what I am not.” John Townsend

  10. . . .for ME. “What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.” Philippians 3.8

  13. Acts 8 Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit Acts 13 Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit Acts 8 “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! Acts 13 Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord.

  14. Acts 8 I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.” Acts 13 You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time Acts 8 “Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me.” Acts 13 Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand
