http://www.onelifeknox.com/giveBOTTOM LINE: Am I being honest with myself...really?
1. If I'm not submitting to what God says...pause!

3. If I'm following my heart...pause!
4. If I'm following the heart of Jesus...don't pause - run!
START TALKING
When do you find yourself saying, "What were they thinking?!" What's an example of when you saw something and it was obvious they were not being honest with themselves!
What is one regret you have when you look back at your younger self and you realize you were not being honest with yourself! What were you wearing, what did your hair look like, or what did you do then that you see pictures and say, "What was I thinking?!"

START THINKING
Read Jeremiah 17:9. When people say, “Follow your heart, what are they really saying?
How does this verse go against what most in our culture would tell us or even encourage us to do?
When you think about this truth, what are examples of people following their heart that often does not go well?

START SHARING
Read 2 Chronicles 36:12. Zedekiah was not honest with himself about what God said was best and what a godly person tried to tell him. Share a time that you made a decision or went a direction that was not in line with what God said is best and/or other godly people tried to caution you and warn you about it. How did you justify it in the moment? When you look back on it, how was your heart deceiving you and blinding you?
Read Ezekiel 36:26-27. What did you notice changed when you followed Jesus and received a new heart? How did your desires change or how did your old desires become challenged? How have you had to go against what culture or conventional wisdom would tell you is best?

START PRAYING
Pray for each other to be honest with themselves about what God says and wants for us. Pray for the people in each other‘s lives that we have the opportunity to impact and see their lives changed, too.
