Life For Dummies

Christ Covenant Church

1. The book, "Life for Dummies" is the Bible, which means the less you know and believe, the more you reveal yourself to be a dummy. (Is 8:20)

2. Life is a test, and God is the proctor of that test. He is the one judging/grading how you do. It is why you exist. This is our purpose: pass His test. Those who pass the test seek Him through the constant, consistent, and permanent practice of learning about Him. (Heb 11:6; Jer 29:13; Jer 9:24; Col 1:28; Col 2:1-10; Joh 1:18; 2 Pe 3:17-18; 2 Pe 1:16-190

3. Because life is a test, you will be tested. (Deu 8:2; 1 Pe 4:12-18; Jam 1:1-2; Phi 1:28 w/ 1 Pe 4; 1 Co 10:13; Eze 3:8; Rom 6:20-22).

3.1 We choose one or more of 3 things that are overcomer killers (e.g., enhancers).

3.1.1 Ignore, or refuse to believe, God's Truth. (Rom 1:18-24; Deu 8:2)

3.1.2 Give in to fear. (Eze 3; Rev 21:7-8; Psa 11)

3.1.3 Listen to the lies of your flesh and the world. (1 Joh 2:15-17; 1 Joh 2:3; Eph 5:5-6; Jer 17:9; Heb 3:12; Rom 8:4-14; Eph 4:17-24).

4. The key to passing life's test is overcompensating conviction, the inverse of the overcomer killers.

5. Dummies go to hell. Don't be a dummy.
