gfcbeautiful DISCUSSION:
1. In the book of Judges, it says, “all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.’ This is still true today, we often believe our personal truth is absolute truth. Read Psalm 119:89, Isaiah 40:8, Malachi 3:6 and Matthew 24:35. What do they say about God’s Word as absolute truth?
2. Read Jeremiah 17:9-10. What does it say about the heart? Do these verses bring comfort or fear to you?
3. Read Proverbs 4:23. This verse reminds us that we must carefully defend and protect our hearts. What are some indicators that reflect that your heart has not been feeding on the things of God? Ex. Anxiety, anger, lust.
4. Before a word comes out of our mouth, before an action is taken, it always starts as a seed of thought. Read 2 Corinthians 10:5. Do you have trouble taking thoughts “captive?” Share with the group what has helped in the past to overcome wrong thinking. As a group say this out loud-May the words of my mouth, my meditation-thoughts, and every movement of my heart be always pure and pleasing and acceptable before your eyes, my only Redeemer, my Protector-God. Psalm 19:14
KEY VERSES:
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of this world , and not according to Christ.” Col. 2:8
“The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But, I God search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they are, not as they pretend to be.” Jer. 17:9-10
“So may the words of my mouth, my meditation-thoughts, and every movement of my heart be always pure and pleasing, and acceptable before your eyes, my only Redeemer, my Protector-God.” Psalm 19:14
