It’s All About The Heart

Welcome to the blessed life. Why did God give you because God wants stinking God did not create giving his second be graded giving for your sake, giving more than any other activity that a believer does work, selfishness and greed out of our lives. All right were beginning a new series called the blessed life and I want you to understand that this is my life message because it's it's been in my heart for your existence on Debbie not been living I've been preaching teaching for years, blessed life. Now the book millions of copies.

I've been told thirtysomething languages around the world.

Given all the royalties away to this book and so it's been just God uses it all over the world.

Here's the reason because there's truth in this book that will change your life. I promise, and you will change your marriage and change your family and change your health and change your relationships and change your job if change your life.

It's a blessed life non-blessed pocketbook or blessed while it's a blessed life and so I want you turn if you can really do two passages this time.

Matthew seven and Luke six here's the reason because someone I read a passage in Matthew seven and Ron flipped the lipsticks quickly so we can read the parallel passage so look here in Matthew chapter 7 verses one to it says judge not that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

Now I just want to ask you a simple question, is the word money anywhere in those two verses no. And in the context is judging. Don't judge, you will be judged okay now wants to commit to short-term memory. The first phrase in the last rites and I like you just say it after me. Judge is not, and you will not be judged, and with the measure you use will be measured back to you say that applicable in six okay now let's say one more time. Judge not, you will not be judged with the measure you use will be measured back.

They look at the first sentence of verse 37 Luke 637 judge not, and you will not be judged. Now you have say I'm sorry thank thank you thank you thank and look at the last sentence of verse 38 for with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you, you understand this is the parallel passage, but I will show you verse in the middle that in my opinion. Many times the context is not understood caseloads. Luke six 3738 judge not, and you shall not be judged, condemned not, and you shall not be condemned for Gaia and you will be forgiven only verse 38 did have any will be given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be putting your bosom. For with the same measure used to be measured back to you.

Now we just make a statement is not shocking.

The word money does not appear in those verses and yet most of the time when we hear Luke 638 we think about money is modified when we think about the word idea. We think money I was being interviewed by a magazine a while back tonight. I said how often you preshow giving and I said every week they said you preach, giving every week.

I said yes. I think what you meant to asked me was how often God preshow giving money and that's about every three years every three years. I do a series on stewardship and generosity unit asked me how significant giving money.

Yes, my health and everything given.

I can preach own grace… Giving because God's love the world be I can preach own marriage
