Does God prepare BOTH vessels of wrath and vessels of mercy?

- The consequences of giving in to the temptations of the pleasures of the flesh are serious and costly…
- To avoid the weight of carrying a guilty conscience on your shoulders to the grave, consider the consequences of your actions before you carry them out.
- God created sex to be a good thing, but it’s only a good thing when it’s experienced in the context that He intended for it: marriage.
- A man’s sexuality is a very sensitive thing, but when sex is properly practiced in marriage, as God intended and designed it, that sexuality is the glue that bonds a man’s heart to his wife.

In this typically-very-misunderstood passage, we take a look at whether or not God’s will can be resisted. Is Paul saying it can’t be?

- What does the path of the godly look like? Well, for starters, unlike the path of the wicked, it’s illuminated…
- The foundational ingredients in the recipe for a godly life starts with a filthy heart washed clean by the blood of Jesus; add a tamed tongue and mix with a disciplined eye, blended with a foot that turns away from evil.
- The bait that’s most successful in enticing us to stray from the path of righteousness: pleasures of the flesh, hands down!
- The path of the righteous and the path of those who tempt the righteous are diametrical and logical opposites!

- David’s experience didn’t come without a price, and he was able to pass wisdom on to his children as a result.
- When we pursue wisdom with passion and priority, we receive the promotion and the prize of wisdom.
- Running the Christian race is like running a marathon with hurdles set up every 10 yards – nobody could do it on their own! So how does one reach the finish line?
- The path of the wicked is enticing and filled with enticers. Clinging to wisdom means living a different life and walking a different path.

- For the person who is overwhelmed by fear and anxiety, God steps in and offers peace and rest by trusting in Him alone.
- The peace of God isn’t something that can be contained by the person who has it – rather, it overflows in their life so that everyone who comes near them gets their feet in it!
- The peace that passes understanding flows from the individual to their neighbor and to everyone they come into contact with.
- Three things belong to the righteous: blessing, grace, and honor. That’s one coin you don’t want to find yourself on the flipside of!

Can God’s plan be thwarted by the freedom of people?
Tue 2 Feb 2010
- The person who has God’s wisdom seeks and honors God, whether times are good or difficult.
- The cost of gold…over $1000 per ounce. The cost of an ounce of silver…still very expensive. But wisdom…priceless! Wisdom and understanding are far more valuable than anything else this world has to offer.
- When the storms of life come, the wise hold fast to wisdom, but the foolish trust in their own understanding.
- When we remain mindful of the fact that God created the universe and everything in it, it will affect how we live our lives.
