2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Today let us get back to the heart of worship, we have talked about many things before about attitude, evangelism, make a difference, etc. Now it is time to get back to the core of the message, which is self-improvement. Without self-improvement, it is insignificant to learn all those things, things do not change along the time and what you had learnt, things change when our thinking change! So it is not how much things we learnt that determined our personality, it is we ourselves determined how our self character.

You will notice children have a variety of guts and characteristics, though they learnt the same thing everyday in class, this is what I meant. You will not be affected directly by what you learnt, but directly you will change when your mind changes! It is quite obvious; it is we ourselves who control ourselves, our brains are the central of all life activities. Therefore, external factors will not influence the internal mindset, unless you want them to.

Meanwhile, the word of God is applying the same principle, if you have a mindset of learning and knowing, it is different from the one who just follow it as a pattern of a “Christian”, the fake Christian is even worse than the unbelievers. So today we have to make studying the word of God as a good habit, for God gave us the bible for us to use from the past till present, of course extending to future! How come only a book can endure so much challenge of time? Wouldn’t those words expire and out of date? Friends, this is where the wonder is!

Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

This is a promise that his word will never expire, but still making impact in the very world! As the Scripture is inspired by God and use it as an equipment of good works, it is like a mirror to us, who reflects ourselves and let ourselves see how wrong we were and correct it! So, get back to the heart of worship, learn to word of God, and all things will come to past, it will be natural to experience the change of attitude, and marketplace evangelism and making a difference in the world!
