What kinds of things are you chasing?

What are 5 things I spent time and mental energy chasing this week?

Why do people chase the things they chase?

They BELIEVE that is what will satisfy them BEST.

“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” ~John Piper

If you want to experience the life of God, you need to believe the truth of God.

3 steps toward the “life of God”:

1.Put off the old self.
(which is captivated by deceitful desires)

2.Be made new in the attitude of your mind
(change your thinking)

3.Put on the new self
(which is made to be like God)

3 steps toward the “life of God”:

1.Put off the old self.
(Turn away from what you know is unhealthy & ungodly.)

2.Be made new in the attitude of your mind
(Believe God. Ask Him to change your thinking about it.)

3.Put on the new self
(Turn toward what will move you into alignment with God.)
