Moving Beyond Insecurity
In Romans 8, beginning at verse 31 we read this powerful God-breathed words…
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:31-39
Pray Us Into..
WELCOME – to week two of our four week series, “Overcome, The Challenges We Face.”
UNDERSTAND MGCC – it is God plan and His desire that you overcome ever challenge that stands in the way of you becoming the person… AND – living the life that He created and intends for you to live.
NOW LAST WEEK – we talked about overcoming the challenge of anxiety… which is unhealthy, unproductive and unbecoming for a child of God (The Sovereign King of the Universe).
AND – in that conversation we discovered how we can reverse anxiety and walk a path that leads us to the peace of God that transcends all understanding…
AND SO – here’s the deal.
WHEN – the winds and waves of anxiety come crashing over our lives… IF – we want Jesus to say to those wind and waves peace be still, calming those storms. THEN – we must…
C - Celebrate God’s Greatness and Goodness
A - Ask God for help
L- Leave your anxiety with Him
M - Meditate on good things
S- Start doing what you know
AND – let me tell you, it really does work… it really does calm anxiety down and bring the peace of God.
IN FACT – I need to use CALMS this past week…
AND LIKE – I had peace and it made no sense to have it.
NOW - THIS MORNING (02/24/2019) – we are going to talk about overcoming another challenge that often stands between you and the life God intends… in a conversation that I am calling… “Moving Beyond Insecurity”
AND – here is how I want to drill down on this conversation… BY - unpacking 3 statements…
#1 – What Insecurity Is
#2 – What causes insecurity
#3 – Moving Beyond insecurity
OKAY – let’s do this…
What Insecurity Is
LET ME – just give a basic definition of what insecurity means.
Insecurity
1) self doubt
2) a feeling of uncertainty about yourself
3) lack of confidence about yourself
4) low self esteem
Insecurity what is it….
It’s Everyone’s Battle
UNDERSTAND – insecurity is no respecter of persons.
AND – because of that it is pretty much at one time or another everyone’s battle.
I MEAN – insecurity is a challenge faced by…
young and old, male and female, rich and poor, famous and not famous, educated and non-educated….
NOW - here are a few famous people who have battled with insecurity…
OKAY – this guy came from an extremely influential family.
He was a diplomat, a US Congressman, a US Secretary Of State and the 6th President of the United States.
I would say that is a pretty impressive resume. I mean, of the hundred of millions of people who have lived in our country in the last 230 years only 45 people have held that office. YET – at the age of 70 when he looked back on his life he said
John Quincy Adams
“My whole life has been a succession of disappointment. I can scarcely recollect a single instance of success in anything I ever undertook.”
This famous Pulitzer Prize winning author of ‘The Grapes Of Wrath’ and other works such as… Of Mice and Men and East of Eden, said that…
John Steinbeck
He felt like an imposter for the praise he got for his work…
Once writing in his journal, “I am not a writer. I’ve been fooling myself and other people.”
This US President before his inauguration wrote a letter to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Rutledge about how he was concerned about not being able to live up to the people’s expectations. Perhaps, you recognize him…
George Washington
NOW - this well known actor (he even played the role of James Bond in 4 movies), has experienced some serious insecure thoughts and feelings. He once said…
“I know what it’s like to loathe oneself. To feel that deep self loathing. It’s painful and ugly and unwanted…
You think ‘Am I smart enough? - Am I equipped enough to deal with it all?”
You don’t want it to happen, but insecurity is a part of life.
Pierce Brosnan
This well known actress and Oscar Award winner describes herself this way…
“I’m an optimistic, joyous person, but also afraid and insecure”
Sandra Bullock
This young award winning actress and singer…
Recently said in an interview with US Magazine
“I feel really insecure sometimes. I go through weird ups and down.”
Selena Gomez
Just one more…
This very popular actor and rapper. Who Newsweek Magazine once called ‘The Most Powerful Actor In Hollywood.’
Said in an interview…
“I still doubt myself ever single day. What people believe is my self-confidence is actually my reaction to fear.”
Will Smith
LAST FRIDAY – I made a Facebook post asking people to simply ‘like’ the post if they have ever battled feeling of insecurity.
AND – I had Facebook friends
• from Florida to South Dakota
• from Las Vegas to New Hampshire
• from business owners to stay at home moms
young and old
male and female
acknowledging their struggle with insecurity
A pastor friend and WestPoint Graduate commented “If people read this post, it should be one of your most liked posts ever!”
YEAH LIKE – I said insecurity is pretty much every person’s battle at some time or another.
NOW – I spent some time this week trying to find a study that would give me a percentage of people who struggle with insecurity – but I couldn’t find any.
SO – I thought hey I’ll just do one right here.
OKAY…
• Raise your hand if you have ever struggled with feelings of insecurity.
• Raise your hand if you have struggled with these feelings a lot more frequently then you would like.
• Raise your hand if your feeling too insecure to raise your hand.
Insecurity it is everyone’s battle…
I. It’s A Really Big Deal
A) Because of the life it causes us to live
#1 It causes us to live fearful lives
Fear of what….? Fear of being exposed.
YOU SEE - We are afraid that everyone else will find out what we already know to be true about ourselves.
AND ONCE - they know who we really are,
THEN – they will know what we are really struggling with, and the weaknesses that are inside of us
AND – we will be exposed… found out.
SO – we live in constant fear.
IF – I get exposed, if I get found out, if people really know who I am on the inside
THEN – they will no longer see or feel about me the same way they do now.
#2 It causes us to live defensive lives
Because we are afraid that what we have (even if it is no real and a faced) will be taken away from us.
SO – we build up walls and defenses around our lives.
AND THEREFORE – we must push back when someone (anyone) attempts to… Correct us, challenge us, speak truth into us or point out areas where we may be weak.
SO – we live defensive lives, where all feedback and criticisms are seen as an attack.
Insecurity causes us to live…
• Fearful lives
• Defensive lives, and
#3 It causes us to live self-promoting lives
NOW – this is where people hide the truth about themselves, by projecting out something that they know is not true about themselves.
IN OTHER WORDS – they project, they pretend to be something or someone they know they are not… strong, confident, secure, unafraid, spiritual, happy, content, caring…etc
AND LISTEN – in our modern culture we have the perfect mechanism to put this self-promotion on steroids…
It’s called social media.
I MEAN – if we can just stage the right photo or make the right post… We can easily project to others something we know we are not.
UNDERSTAND – insecure people are notorious for wanting people to believe something about them that they no is not true.
SO – they life self-promoting lives.
Insecurity, it really is a big deal, because it causes us to live…
• Fearful lives
• Defensive lives
• Self-promoting lives
QUESTION – do you agree that living in any of those ways is neither fun or freeing?
AND NEXT – insecurity is a BIG DEAL…
Because of the life it causes us to never live
UNDERSTAND – fearful, defensive and self-promoting is not the life that God desires that any of us live.
BUT LISTEN…. HERE’S THE DEAL
IF YOU - do not learn how to move beyond insecurity you will never fully live the life that God created and intends for you to live.
AND YOU - will never do the great things that God has planned in advance for you to do as His masterpiece.
Author Brennan Manning saying the following in regards to what happens when we do not move beyond insecurity.
Great deeds remain undone and the possibility of growth into greatness of soul is aborted. – Brennan Manning
QUESTION….
• What great deeds will remain undone
• What dreams will go unfulfilled
• What lives will go unlived
• What greatness and growth of soul will never be reached
• How many lives will go untouched
• And how much needless emotional pain will we bare
ALL BECAUSE – we did not move beyond insecurity.
OKAY – now, let’s talk about the cause of insecurity.
I would like to suggest 3 causes
II. What are the causes of insecurity
A) Believing the lies of the enemy
He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies… - John 8:44
MGCC
Our enemy is a liar and he will do whatever he needs to do in an effort to attack your worth, value and your security in who you are in Christ…
BUT HOW – do we know when it is our enemy who is talking to us?
“Any word or suggestion that brings; discouragement, condemnation or accusation – that is not from God. Neither is confusion, nor any counsel that would led you to disobey what you know. Reject it all and carry on in your journey…
The voice of God is never condemning, never harsh or accusing. His conviction brings a desire for repentance. Satan’s accusations kills our hearts…”
- John Eldredge ‘Waking The Dead,’
AND LISTEN – our enemy often speaks his lies through other people. Spouses, brothers, sisters, friends, culture and especially through parents…
YOU KNOW – parents can say some pretty crazy and funny things, things that only a parent would say.
(I know I’ve been one for over almost 35 years)…
I went online this week looking for some crazy/funny things that parents say to their kids….
I MEAN – grown people, educated people say them…
• I know it hurts but I will not kiss your butt
• No honey, her face isn’t melting. Those are called wrinkles
• No, he doesn’t have a baby in his tummy
• Sometimes your breathe stinks too
• Stop licking the dog.
• Those gummie bears are not going to fit up your nose
• Why are you eating boogers?
• We don't pee on our friends.
• Did you really just ask me what happens when I get to three?
• Take the funnel out of your sisters ear
• Put grandpas teeth back where you found them
• Yes you’d make a beautiful ballerina but boys don’t wear tutus to church
• What if I spit in your soda
• Don’t put the chips back in the bowl after you licked them
• The dog’s nose does not need picking
• You can’t pee in just anyone’s yard
• Take your food out of your pants.
• Get your brother out of the washing machine
• Come on less singing and more pooping
AND – as kids get older, I think the things parents say to their kids get even crazier…
AND – have you ever noticed that parents frequently ask questions that they don’t really want an answer to..
• Do you want me to give you something to cry for? (yeah that’s be great)
• Close the door, do you think you were born in a barn?
• Do you think I cleaned the house for my health? (I don’t know, but you are looking pretty good)
• Do you want me to come up there?
• You’re tired, I’ll give you tired
• This is going to hurt me more than it is going to hurt you (that’s a lie)
• And my all time favorite, do I look stupid to you?
YES – parents can say some crazy thing, funny things and insane things… AND – they can also say some pretty cruel things, some self image and security distorting things…
• Why can’t you be more like your brother
• Can’t you do anything right
• I wish you were never born
• You always disappoint me…
• You will never amount to anything
• I can’t wait until you grow up and get out of here
• I never wanted you in the first place
AND LISTEN – hurtful words like these cause people to both embrace negative beliefs and lies about who they are, which many people carry well into adulthood…
• I’m a mistake
• I’m a burden
• It was all my fault
• I’m worthless
• I will never measure up or be good enough
“It is astounding how many deeply committed followers of Jesus would affirm that those statements articulate how they truly feel about themselves.”
– Peter Scazsero (Emotional Healthy Spirituality)
B) Drinking the deadly toxin of Comparison
When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. – 2 Cor 10:12
UNDERSTAND
Nothing can kill contentment and feed insecurity like comparison.
AND LISTEN – as I have many, many times before…
NOW - more than any other time in history, we live in a culture of incessant comparison.
I MEAN – (through media… both social and traditional) we have instant access to the lives of those we know, those we don’t, those we can’t stand, those we wish we were, those we’d give anything to measure up to.
WELL - we don’t exactly have access to their lives.
WE HAVE - access to the parts of their lives they’d like us to see.
I MEAN
Nobody posts the shot of…
• The all the fighting and fussing and crying that went down before they snap the ‘perfect’ family Christmas Photo in front of the perfectly decorated tree.
• Tommy pitching a fit and screaming in the checkout line because he wanted a pack of skittles and mom said no.
• Sally rolling her eyes at her mom and slamming the door because she’s not allowed to go to the movies.
• Nobody posts I can’t believe I lost my temper with my family and flew into a rage over something so stupid.
INSTEAD - people post the shot of Tommy sitting on mom’s lap as she reads a Dr Seuss book to him.
Sally accepting the dance competition trophy.
The fun outing with the family.
And the enemy uses all of this— the images we see of who we think others are and what we think they’re doing— to make us feel bad about who we are.
LISTEN – as I have said countless times before. But it worth repeating because some of us keep on doing it…
One of the main reasons we struggle with insecurity – is because we’re comparing our behind-the-scenes with everybody else’s highlight reel.
QUESTION – have you ever went on Facebook, Instagram or ‘Look How Much Better My Life is then yours Agram…’
and after only a few minutes you start feeling bummed out and insecure - about your marriage, your kids, your job, your home, your stuff, your accomplishments, your life…?
IF SO – you are not alone.
A study was conducted by The University Of Gothenburg, Sweden… where the researchers found that prolonged Facebook usage negatively impacted the user’s self-esteem, with women being more affected then men.
QUESTION – when someone:
• Gets a promotion
• Gets a new boyfriend or girlfriend
• Buys a new house or car
• Looses 25 pounds
• Gets married
• Experiences a huge success
• Posts those perfect family pictures (you know what I’m talking about, like some ‘stepford family)
Do you feel worse about who you are?
UNDERSTAND – when you compare…
• How you look
• What you have
• Where you live
• What you know
• What you’ve accomplished
• What you do
To other people your vision of who you really are will be severely distorted…
AND LISTEN – though I know better I still will belly up to the bar of comparison and the vision of who I am gets really distorted… Kind of like these selfies I took of myself on Friday.
(Note - took some distorted pics of myself)
NOW - the first King of Israel, King Saul… Is the textbook case of how compulsive comparison will miss up your life…
I MEAN – He is a successful King, the people like Him. He is a great warrior. BUT – when he starts comparing himself to David, HE - starts thinking they like Him more.
THE RESULT - he looses it… His sanity, his crown his life
AND LISTEN – when you compare your life to the lives of other people you will loose yours as well.
NO – you may not have a crown to loose…
BUT – as I mentioned earlier you will loose the unique life that God created you to live.
MGCC – God did not create you to live someone else’s life.
LOOK – at three people and tell them, “God did not create you to live someone else’s life.”
A 3rd cause of insecurity is….
A) Looking for security in insecure places
UNDERSTAND – you and I will live out our lives in one of 3 ways…
• Insecure,
• Falsely secure, or
• Secure in God
NOW - we will talk about being secure in God in just a moment when we unpack the statement ‘moving beyond insecurity’
BUT FIRST - I want to briefly talk about a few of those insecure places that give us a false sense of security.
I MEAN – they are like building our security on sand.
AND LISTEN – for the most part these are the places that people in our world run to in order to deal with their feelings of insecurity.
NOW – they are not bad in of themselves but when they become the primary source for our security. They are ultimately just sinking sand.
#1 Money
Many look to money for their security. If I only had a lot of money and stuff I would feel so much better about me.
IN FACT – there are actually financial instruments called securities… BUT – as we learned in 2008, they are not so secure after all, right?
UNDERSTAND - if you think that money will take away your insecurity you are deceived….
IN FACT - Jesus called it the deceitfulness of riches.
AND YOU KNOW – all of those famous people who I showed pictures of earlier? Some of those still struggling with insecurity people have net worth north of a ¼ billion.
NOW – don’t misunderstand money can be a blessing.
Money is a good thing – especially when it is used to help the poor and advance the kingdom.
SURE - money can bring some security, but God can bring total security.
Paul said that he had learned how to be content whether he had plenty or he had little…
In other words – he was secure regardless of what he had in his pocket.
NOW- another place where people try to deal with their insecurity is…
#2 Appearance
IF – I look good, then I will feel good about me.
I MEAN – it is unbelievable the level of importance that appearance has become in our world, especially here in our country. I mean so many bow to the god of appearance.
NOW – don’t misunderstand me, it’s good to look good.
It’s good to look your best.
There is nothing wrong with it. In fact we should take care of our bodies….
HOWEVER - I need to tell you the truth, I want to give you the bottom line…
WHEN – it comes to your appearance, you are in a battle with gravity, and gravity is going to win.
YES – gravity is going to suck your skin to the floor, kill you and then drag you into the grave.
HEY – I am just using my spiritual gift of encouragement.
NOW – I turned 59 a few weeks back…
AND – gravity has come at me pretty hard.
LIKE - I am not in the kind of shape I was in, when I was 29
SO – I have decided this Summer I am going to use this to bless other people. YEAH – this Summer I am going to go to the pool with a mission to make everyone else feel better about their bodies…
I MEAN – I am thinking about making it a ministry,
LIKE – I will walk by people and they will think “thank God I don’t look like that.”
AND – I’ll say “Lord another life touched for you.”
BUT SERIOUSLY….
BROTHERS AND SISTERS – your looks are going to change.
AND SURE – it’s good to put up a good fight against gravity.
I MEAN – it’s good to give it go, but know that you are going to loose.
BOTTOM LINE – if you put your security in your appearance. You will live an insecure life.
IN FACT – do you know what group of people struggle the most with insecurity due to their appearance?
fashion models.
Miranda Kerr
“Models are some of the most insecure people I’ve ever met”
(Australian Model)
#3 Accomplishments
Another false place to try to deal with your insecurity is accomplishments
SURE – they may make you feel good about you, for awhile.
BUT – what about…
• When someone else accomplishes more or gets the promotion?
• When you fail?
• When your time for accomplishing the stuff you think is so significant is over?
I MEAN – if US Presidents and award winning actors discovered the accomplishments were not the answer to dealing long term with feelings of insecurity.
What makes you think that you will be the exception.
My drive in life comes from a fear of being mediocre. That is always pushing me. I push past one spell of it and discover myself as a special human being but then I feel I am still mediocre and uninteresting unless I do something else. Because even though I have become somebody, I still have to prove that I am somebody. My struggle has never ended and I guess it never will.
DO – you know who said that? Madonna.
#4 Popularity (other people)
In what they think of us…
If I am like and admired by a lot of people I will no longer feel insecure…
NOW – the truth is most of us place a higher premium on what other people think than we realize or would care to admit.
I MEAN - it influences so much of what we do in life…
• What will I say or not say in a conversation?
• What school will my child attend?
• Who will I date?
• What should I wear?
• Do I tell that person he or she hurt me?
• What kind of career will I pursue?
• What photos or awesome thing should I post on Facebook or Instagram? (and then we count the # of likes)
UNDERSTAND – insecurity happens when we give life-defining authority to other people.
(even to our spouses)
When we give a vote to people (about who we are and what we are worth) who should not have a vote
OKAY – we’ve talked about the causes of insecurity and what it is…
NOW – it is time to unpack the 3rd and final statement…
III. Moving Beyond Insecurity
OKAY – here’s the deal…
IF – you want to move beyond insecurity you need to RUN!
AND LISTEN – just like ‘C.A.L.M.S.’ from last week
RUN is also an acrostic (it will help us remember it)
R – Replace The Lies Of The Enemy And The Deadly Toxins Of Comparison With The Truths Of God
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” – John 8:31,32
UNDERSTAND – God’s truth has the power to set you free from your insecurity.
IT – has the power to set you free from both the lies of the enemy and the deadly toxin of comparison.
LISTEN…
WHENEVER - you begin to feel insecure
WHENEVER – the lies of the enemy and toxins of comparison start to make you feel about you… RUN!
REPLACE - the Lies Of The Enemy And The Deadly Toxins Of Comparison With The Truths Of God
AND LISTEN – this will mean that you will need to open up this book… SO THAT – you can read what God has to say to you, about you…
ABOUT…
• How he sees you,
• How much he loves you
• How you are His masterpiece
• How he wants to adopt you into His very own family.
OKAY – I want to throw out a challenge for this coming week.
NOW – it is for everyone, but it’s especially for those who are really battling feelings of insecurity.
LIKE – those feelings are there when you wake up, when you go to bed and through the day…
AND – here’s the challenge,
From today until next Sunday (for 7 days) turn off all social media.
NOW – if you need to let people know you are going dark do it.
AGAIN – shut off all social media and instead of waking up and spending your day comparing your fake with their fake…
READ - the following Psalms out loud
Psalm 23 Psalm 25
Psalm 27 Psalm 30
Psalm 51 Psalm 91
Psalm 103 Psalm 121
Psalm 139
Isaiah 40
NOW – some of you are like, I do not have time to do that…
BUT REMEMBER – you have cut off social media.
Age Hours per day
On social media
16-24 3:01
25-34 2:37
35-44 2:04
45-54 1:39
55-64 1:13
U – Understand the measuring stick for the kingdom of God
In Matthew 25 just days before His arrest and crucifixion Jesus told many parables to help His guys and us understand what the kingdom of God is like… Here is one of them.
For the kingdom is just like a man going on a journey. He called his own slaves and turned over his possessions to them.15 To one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one—to each according to his own ability. Then he went on a journey.
A talent = about 20 times what a person would make in a year…
35 K = 700,000
50 K = 1,000,000
100 K = 2,000,000
Immediately the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more. In the same way the man with two earned two more.
“After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. 2The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. Look, I’ve earned five more talents.’
“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’
“Then the man with two talents also approached. He said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. Look, I’ve earned two more talents.’
“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’
– Matthew 25:14-17, 19-23
The measuring stick in the kingdom of God is not being the best at what you do, instead it is giving your best with what you have been given.
How others look, what they have, what they accomplish is not my measuring stick, God is my measuring stick.
N – Never Look For Your Security In Any Place Other Than God
NOW - I said earlier that insecurity happens when we give life-defining authority to people.
But listen Security happens when we give life-defining authority to God.
UNDERSTAND – the point I am trying to get across this morning
The goal we are wanting to achieve is
Moving beyond insecurity to confidence in God.
LISTEN – we do not become secure by becoming more confident in ourselves, but by becoming more confident in our God.
When David stepped into that valley he was not armed with confidence in Himself, but rather confidence in His God.
When Moses was feeling insecure when God called him to deliver his people,
Who I am that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt? – Exodus 3:11
God did not give Moses a pep talk and tell Moses that he needed to be more confident in himself.
Instead God called Moses to be confident in Him…
And God said, “I will be with you.” – Exodus 3:12
AND – we see the same thing again and again in Scripture…
With Gideon,
With Joshua,
With the nation as a whole.
MGCC – God is calling to move beyond insecurity into a confidence in HIM.
Confidence in His love
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
- 1 John 3:1
Confidence in His plan
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. – Jeremiah 29:11
Confidence in His protection
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected. – Proverbs 18:10
Confidence that he has prepared us
For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. – Ephesians 2:10
Confidence that He will strengthen us
Those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. – Isaiah 40:31
Confidence that He will help us
I look up to the hills, but where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
– Psalm 121:1,2
Confidence that He is greater
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. – 1 John 4:4
Confidence that he has our back no matter what we are going through
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28
Confidence that He is coming back for us
When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. – John 14:3
Confidence that He is able to guard what we have entrusted to Him
I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. – 2 Timothy 1:12
REPLACE the Lies Of The Enemy And The Deadly Toxins Of Comparison With The Truths Of God
UUNDERSTAND the measuring stick for the kingdom of God
NEVER Look For Your Security In Any Place Other Than God
