Sunday 28 Sept
Loving God with your heart and mind
Proverbs 19:2
It is not good to have zeal without knowledge,
nor to be hasty and miss the way.
Good to have zeal but if it without knowledge it is dangerous
They must go hand in hand, they must be married together
Love the Lord with your heart and with your mind
Seek the fire but also the firewood
Zeal
Passion, desire for God, sense of devotion, appetite for God
David- man of zeal
Psalm 42:1-2
Jesus- Zeal for your house consumes me
He had a passion for His father’s house
God wants us to have a passion~/ appetite for him- to desire him
Seek the fire of the Spirit to burn in us
How do we cultivate this?
SEEK IT, ASK FOR it Luke 11:9-13
Q? How hungry are you for more of the Spirit?
Knowledge
Love the Lord with your mind
Seek the fire but fire needs something to burn
Are you putting good wood in your life?
Invest in what goes in your mind- need Christian minds, think Christianly about the world
How?
1. Watch less TV
2. Read your bible- to meet the author- true bible knowledge rooted in experience
3. Read good Christian books
4. Ask hard questions
5. Think and chew on scripture
Phil 1:9
Grow in love and knowledge~/discernment
We need to grow in both- relational side and mental side
We need both
Heart and the mind
Spirit and the Word
Faith and works
Fire and firewood
Proverbs 19:2 gives us a warning- zeal without knowledge is not good
Why?
It makes you miss the way, the path God has for you
If you have passion for God but don’t know God’s Word well and God’s ways well
You open yourself up to being deceived
How?
You aren’t able to test things, test it up according to the Word
If you have knowledge of the bible, love God with your mind but don’t have intimate passion for him- leads to legalism and dead religion
Pharisees
Knowing lots of truth but never living it out – becomes toxic waste
