What is the condition of your desire for Jesus Christ this morning?  Is it red-hot... or is it cold... or is it in between?

)Having some computer troubles.  We are trying to fix them and get our downloads caught up!  Sorry!  Might be some duplicate messages?)  What are we to do and what is to be our motivation for doing?  2 Peter 1:3-11 is awesome in it's answers to these questions!  Learn it and dance!

Your faith is the leader of the dance of eternal life!  It's not your faith that supplies the power.  It is the one you placed your faith in!  As followers of Christ we are to be EAGER and full of EFFORT to dance with God the Spirit so that we know Him and bring glory to Jesus!  SPOUDE!  God's Speed!

Believers in Christ are called to teach! The Law of Activity... Engagefulness!  Be doers of the Word!  2 Peter 1:3-11 is our call to make our calling and election in Christ SURE... CERTAIN... CONFIDENT!  We will be sure when we DO THE WORD!  But what exactly does Peter define that we should be doing?  Do what? 

If you know Christ as Savior, you are called to teach! Not formally, but influentially! The Law of Activity says "Maximum learning is always the result of maximum involvement." Involvement; engagefulness; doing! It means obedience to Christ; being a doer of the Word, not just a hearer!

 The Law of Education is that the effective teacher KNOWS the people he or she is endeavoring to teach.  He or she is about the student, not about how wonderful he or she is or how wonderful the teaching.  Jesus was all about the Law of Education!  

The law of the teacher states that the effective teacher always teaches from the overflow of a FULL LIFE!  This, according to Jesus and Howard Hendricks in his book "Teaching to Change Lives".  Full?  Full of what?

Do you have a passion to communicate? Communication is a part of communing with God and others. This series is about teaching. Every born-twice believer in Christ is a teacher; not formally, but in the sense of living out loud how Christ is transforming their soul. Many believers have lost or never connected with Christ to gain this passion. What about you?

Proverbs 2:1-5 contains the dynamic counsel of a father (Solomon) to his child.  There are 5 dynamic character qualities that will launch our young people to a life of eternal significance.  Listen and be inspired by the Word of God breathed out by the Holy Spirit!

If purity is having 'ONE THING PRESENT', then what is that 'one thing' in a pure heart?  Hope motivates a purity of heart that makes us desire to be more like Jesus... because... that is where we are headed!
