"Finishing What You Start"--Part II

Gave to dedicate EVERY AREA of life to God:

• your mouth
• thoughts
• ears
• eyes
• entertainment
• social life
• way you dress
• friendships
• appetite
• finances

Need to return to more holiness, not legalism.  There are many things you can do here that won't send you to hell, but they will keep you from living a victorious life.  Maybe even unusable by God?  Maybe hurt your witness?

**We are educated WAY BEYOND our level of OBEDIENCE.**  How many times do we have to hear "Love thy neighbor" before we actually do it??

Hebrews 6:11

**Can't wait to FEEL the right way before you DO the right way.**

**People don't so much pay attention to what we say, but they pay attention to what we do.**

Sometimes we make commitments in the flesh.  We need to either ask to be released from the promise or just follow through with it even though God may not have anointed it.

**Dedicating you reputation to God** (what others think; their opinions)

NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO LIKE YOU!!

Will have to learn how to deal with some rejection.

The only way we will be respected by non-Christians is to live the life we say we believe in.

Galatians 1:10  Moses and Noah had folks who thought they were nuts.  Even Jesus' brothers thought He was crazy.
