You ARE what you BELIEVE– For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee (Proverbs 23:7).

• Convey what the crowd thinks- News, gossip
• Confound what the crowd thinks- rebel, different opinion
• Condemn what the crowd thinks- Prophet, Preacher
• Correct what the crowd thinks- Lessons from the Bible
What you BELIEVE determines how you LIVE: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself (Daniel 1:8). Here are some Principal Principles that should GUIDE THE THOUGHTS OF A CHRISTIAN:.
- Jesus called us to be Born Again; not just believe there was a Jesus who died (John 3:3).
- To try to do the work of God without the Power of God is like trying to empty the ocean with a pitchfork; you will work yourself to death and never make a difference
- You will never be great as long as you are satisfied being good. Hid Talent- Matthew 25:24-27
- Your Activities reveal your Love for God. (John 14:15)
- Faith maintains faith even when faith does not appear fruitful. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth (Hebrews 11:13).
THERE IS COMING A TIME WHEN YOU WILL GET REWARDS OR HAVE REGRETS:And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27).
