Week 1: Ideas Have Consequences

This week we are talking about ideas.

Every choice you make is either rooted in ideas from God and His Word, or your own ideas. We need to stop and ask ourselves:
-Where are our ideas are coming from?  
-Why do we desire to dress the way we do? Act the way we do?

Is it to fulfil our own selfish desires (the flesh), or the spirit? (Galatians 5:16-26)

What is going on inside our hearts?

Bottomline: Ideas have consequences. This is very plain to see in the culture around us. Beauty...what God created for good is mutilated, and distorted. Or flaunted, or paraded inappropriately to draw attention to only ourselves INSTEAD of bringing attention to the God who created us.

One of the first things we need to do is repent of any false ideas we have on beauty, and ask God to work in us to make our hearts willing to accept His.

Here is an example of how ideas have consequences. When used with manipulation, make-up and photoshop can create a false idea of reality. Presenting: Dove Evolution.

See you on Thursday!
