Learning How to Do Life Well
We continue the series, Seeing God, taking heavily from Chip Ingram’s book, God: As He Long for You to See Him and A. W. Tozer’s classic, The Knowledge of the Holy.
Today Tim discusses how we can test ourselves and how well we are seeing God. Then we look at the first of seven facets of God that we need to focus in on.
Trudi begins a new teaching arc with a look at 20/20 vision and how our view of God affects every part of every relationship.
Our main resources for this series are – of course – the Bible, and Chip Ingram’s book, God: As He Longs for You to See Him.
Tim looks at the problem of perspective and how our perspective is sometimes flawed or incomplete, leading to dumb choices.
Much of today’s material is taken from Dr. Madeleine Van Hecke’s book, Blind Spots
.
After recapping some of the emotions that contribute to our dumb choices, Tim explores some other factors that come into play.
Insecurity can affect us all. When it does, dumb choices can quickly follow.
Trudi gives a variety of Biblical examples of those that battled insecurity and the solutions that were available.
Trudi talks about one of the primary sources of our dumb choices – stress. What is special about stress, and how can we make the smart choice, even in the middle of a stressful situation?
