Do You Depend on Your Own Reasoning? - Love Worth Finding - August 16

August 16, 2023 – Do You Depend on Your Own Reasoning?
2 Peter 3:13
Sermon: 1625 A New World Order, Part 1

Pray Over This

“Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”
2 Peter 3:13

Ponder This

Some people think that as we discover the physical, material Universe, there is no reason to believe Jesus Christ is going to come again or that there will be a new birth for planet Earth. They think nothing cataclysmic has ever happened, so there’s no reason to think anything cataclysmic will happen.

I can imagine a little boy in Noah’s time coming back to his dad and saying, “Dad, listen. I want to tell you something. There’s a man named Noah who says God is going to destroy the world with a flood and so he is building a great big boat; he calls it an ark. Noah says that if we want, we can get on board that ark. Dad, listen I don’t want to die in any flood, whatever that may be. Could we go over there and talk to Mr. Noah about it?” Imagine the response of the father saying something like, “Son, forget about the flood. Nobody’s ever seen a flood, and there’s no such thing as a flood. All things will continue as they are.” That argument may be compelling, but depending only on our natural mind will never give us the full picture.

• What are some ways you are prone to depend on your natural mind? What is positive about that? What is negative about that?
• Why do we tend to be skeptical about cataclysmic things?

Practice This

Pray and ask God to prepare your heart to see Him move in a mighty way.
