GOD’S WORD INFLUENCES YOUR THINKING

EVERY AREA OF OUR LIFE

WHERE DID I COME FROM?

WHAT SHOULD I WHERE TODAY?

How did all begin? Influence of a

college Lecturer / Professor

Influence of a book / Television

What about the Bible?

The Bible is very clear. There was a creator to every thing, and the creator was not an impersonal force; that creator was God.

If you allow the Bible to influence your thinking you’ll have a very different explanation

“I find more sure marks of

authenticity in the Bible than in

any profane history

whatsoever” Sir Isaac Newton

HOW WILL IT ALL END ?

What about the other end of the history?

When the Bible influences your

thinking you have hope – hope in

Jesus’ return, hope in heaven and hope in eternity with the

Savior.

GOD’S WORD INFLUENCES YOUR FAMILY LIFE

Whether we marry or not?

When ? Whom ? How ? Family life: Wife , Husband and

children relationship, their responsibilities.

How to protect our families from the worldly system?

GOD’S WORD INFLUENCES YOUR SOCIAL LIFE

What do you think about your Society?

Should it influence you, or should you influence?

Sometimes society influences us in ways the Bible never intended.

Jesus said in Matt.5:13,14&16.

“You are the salt of the earth…

You are the light of the world….

Let your light so shine before men, that they

may see your good works and glorify your Father in

heaven”

Our society needs more

people whose thinking is

influenced by the Word of God

GOD’S WORD INFLUENCES

YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE

If the God’s word influences your Spiritual life you

will have and continue with the attitude of Christ

Spiritual Warfare:The Bible not only lists our battle equipment, it is part of our equipment. Ephesians 6ch.

Living by Faith:When we are influenced by the Word of God to live by faith we look at the future differently.

God’s Word not only defines living by faith, it demonstrates it in the

lives of people. Hebrews 11ch.

GOD’S WORD

INFLUENCES YOUR VALUES

Life Time Goals:What is your major goal in your life?

Money or ComfortWhen your values are influenced by the Word of God your goals change.

For the Christian, our highest goal is to please Him in every aspect of our lives. Eccl. 12:13

Moral Absolutes:In what we view as right and wrong?

“Without the Bible the education of a child in the present state of society is

impossible” – Leo Tolstoy (Great Philosopher and

Writer)

Several studies show that about…- 75% High school students admit to cheating

- 50% College students cheat regularly

World tolerates - The Lord Hates

These things the Lord hates: Prov.16-19

“A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed

innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet

that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who

sows discord among brethren”

Thinking Biblically means holding a value system that reflects the pure

mind of God, Not the corrupt minds of men.
