1Cor. 2:14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

People who do not believe that Jesus is Lord do not have a context for life that will allow them to understand spiritual principles. We must accept this and not become impatient.

God’s plan for planet earth is simple:

The idea here is that God wants to reveal His love to others through those who would believe He is Lord. This is an incredible privilege. We must live up to the challenge that this idea represents. The stakes are high.

1. Develop a healthy _______________ toward others (1 Cor. 2:14)

2. Get out of your ________________ - ____________ (Num. 32:1-7)

Life Implication:

Prov. 19:3 Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.

The above verse suggests that if we will commit our "works" (behavior), to the Lord our "thoughts" (attitude) will be established. In psychology we are taught that attitude follows behavior and here the Bible validates this idea.

Do I have the proper attitude toward others? Am I willing to get out of my comfort zone?
