Highlights

since the local church is made up of believers and unbelievers, then it is possible for… them to still be an enemy of God. and when these enemies of God are in the church, what would they do? they bring conflict and strive

(Jesus prayed,) it is because he knew that the church would soon be plagued with quarrels and conflicts… true enough the church…

think about problems… (pastor lists some crimes) are they not because of emotions? a deeper problem? is it not because of impatience, frustration and anger from within?

(pastor describes the woman who was elbowed in the supermarket) where did that come from? from within? anger in her heart, manifested in her actions. it is always from within.

what would you be willing to do? everything including murder, to have what you want.

something around here is the spicy line

even king david murdered. even absalom wanted to be king so bad he was willing to kill his father.

even in the church…

people will find fault with everything you do. no matter what you do or how well you do it, they will find fault with you.

and when they cannot find fault, they will fight and war.

why do we pray? why do i want the things i want? don’t be like the unbelievers who pray for things to spend it on their own satisfaction. we must always consider God when we pray.

lgbt, ecumenical movement, etc (pastor lists ideas and groups of the world)

their goal is self satisfaction. it is the opposite of what God wants for you and me it is extremely hostile towards God. to agree with and love the system of this world

if you find yourself loving these things, you are a friend of the world.

jesus said “i called you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you”

as we mature, the things of he and become clearer and clearer, and we want to go home

we understand what

if we find ourselves having sinful thoughts that think evil of others, that cause division, what must we do? we must ask God to help us remove those thoughts. perish those thoughts. we it is not our business to fight. is to pray. because we cannot overcome trouble makers. only God can. and he will give us the grace, more grace to .. the church. he will resist them and fight against them. so what do we do? pray. ask the Lord for grace to press on. leave the rest to God to deal with.
