1. Ignore Jesus command to take a long hard look at the “fields” from John 4:35.
- · Just stop, listen and look at what is happening in the lives of people today.
- · Brokenness, sickness, dysfunction, depression.
- · You have to look to really get His Book.
2. Focus on the same things that everyone else is focusing on.
- · Bigger car, house, 401K, job promotion.
3. Marry someone who only cares about himself or herself.
- · They think the Great Commission is your % after a big sale.
- · Have the perfect family, chase the perfect dream.
4. Stay away from really authentic Christians who are influential.
- · Their stories will distract you from chasing the American dream.
5. Focus on the “impossible” people who don’t want to hear
about Jesus, you know, the vocal 2-5% who wouldn’t
listen to Jesus Himself.
- · Forget about the multitude that will respond to love and an authentic life.
6. Spend all your empty time obsessing over your faults and all the wrong things you’ve even done.
- · You know that everyone in the Bible was perfect, right?
7. Put “real” Christians on a pedestal, believing that they possess some magic gene that you just don’t have.
- · God could never use “ordinary people”. Could He?
8. Let people tell you that you are “indispensable” right where you are now.
- · We could never make it without you doing what you are doing right now.
9. Worry about what you will say or do when the moment comes.
- · God could never give you a dynamic thought, could He?
10. Go do life by yourself and without any training.
- You will flame out and be home in time to catch the 6 pm news.
· I knew it wouldn’t work.
