  8. British speak that is a very brave proposal = you are insane very interesting = that is clearly nonsense correct me if I’m wrong = I’m right, don’t contradict me With the greatest respect = I think you are an idiot

  9. How God uses us to disturb others This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. 1 Corinthians 2.13

  15. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 1 Corinthians 2.12

  16. Do you know whom you worship? vs.27 God is close and accessible vs.29 God creates us in his image vs.31 Jesus is the One to worship

  17. When the NT speaks about conversion it does not mean the altering of an opinion. Instead it uses the word “metanoia” which means literally, “a change of mind”.

  18. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4.4

  19. What are you going to do? • Pray, “Lord make me according to your heart.” • Prayerfully strategize your next 24 hours. • Ask God to show you whom and what (structures) He is disturbing. • Then ask God what you are to do about what He’s showing you.
