You’ll Be Happy to Lend Me a Little Something - Eric Warren
Matthew 7:7-11 “Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?
Matthew 7:8 NIVFor everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:12 “Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God’s Law and Prophets and this is what you get.
Matthew 7:14 The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.
1 Corinthians 6
2 Corinthians 5:20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.
