Now entering a new exciting chapter starting off with this amazing chapter about our Guiding Principles. What I believe is the most important part of this chapter even though they are all important are the three basic principles. The three principles are Do what God clearly commands, Don’t do what God clearly forbids, and Use scriptural wisdom for everything else. We have to learn how to incorporate these three principles into our lives and we will eventually branch out and continue to learn more as we get more familiar to these three principles. Next in the chapter it talks about how we can learn from others and this stems from other people agreeing on the same BASIC PRINCIPLES and how they can bring different ideas but they all come from the same beginning. Finally the chapter talks about healthy tension where our goal is to evaluate everything and see where we can do some-thing better. In the next couple chapters we will be addressing the concept of healthy tensions and go more into...

This chapter was quite interesting and opened a new door into Christianity for me. This blog is split into multiple sections that talk about what worshiping will make us. I'm going to be talking about the first three sections, which are worshiping God should make us humble, secure and grateful. First is that worshiping God should make us humble. We have to understand that we are worshipers of God because Jesus died and rose to make us one, not because we earned the right to be one. Next is that worshiping God should make us secure.

The truth is, we’re all doing much better than we deserve. Because of our sin, we all deserve hell. We need to understand that we should be grateful to even be given an opportunity to worship him. I really need to follow these guidelines and worship God and feel all these things. I need to continue to shape ...

This chapter was really interesting and touched me very personally. At the beginning of the chapter he talks about how we can truly enjoy God's presence and in the end will inevitably end up enjoying, anticipating, and pursuing God's presence. First, we need to enjoy his presence and in order to do that we need to understand that God wants to be in the presence of his people and we are the link between him and the people with the music and the talents he has given us. Next is that we need to pursue God and in order to pursue God properly we need others to help us and we need to help others as well. Finally we need to anticipate where God is going to be and we know that God will be in heaven waiting for us and knowing this gives us the comfort to support him the best way that we can here on earth. This chapter really touched me because I needed to find and cherish God when I was younger but because I didn't I ended up drifting further away from him and I feel like we all n...
