Revelation For Today

Scripture Reference: 1 John 2:15-17

Warning of the Pride of Life and the enemies of God (world, lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh) all of which the Devil use for his purposes to separate us from the love of God.

1 John 2:15-17 NAS

Do not love the world nor the things in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.  The world is passing away, and also its lusts;  but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

1 John 2:15-17 NAS

Notes from Kirk Cameron from The Deeper Conference (DVD)

I. Kirk is involved in The Way of the Master
A. How do we reach people with the Gospel?
B. At 17, Kirk Cameron had everything.  Kirk was full of the Pride of Life. But then he met Jesus Christ. And Jesus radically changed his life.
C. Why is there so much evil in this world if God exists?
D. Why are there starving children in Africa?
E. His opinion of the Bible was that it was fairy tales designed to control the masses
F. You can’t know God for sure.  Who knows?
G. All of the answers are found through Christians that God sent to him to show Kirk The Way in the person of Jesus Christ.
The question that got Kirk’s attention was: If the Bible is true, what is going to happen to you when you die?   Kirk’s conscience convicted him of his sin.
H. A Christian gave him the book “More Than a Carpenter” by Josh McDowell.
I. Kirk realized that God gave him his life, and that he had the opportunity to respond to God in faith.  He prayed “If you are there, reveal yourself to me and make me the man you want me to be.”  Kirk was converted to a Christian, and his life was transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit.
J. Kirk was born again in Jesus Christ. Read entire article.
