Doting on Dishonesty
01/29/12
Speaker: Wayne Braudrick
Series: Raising the Bar
Description: – Personally, in our homes, in business, as nations, and even theologically Christians accept and even promote dishonesty. This particular sin pattern is possibly the most dangerous of all as failure here threatens the capacity to grow in all other areas. We must acknowledge our evil; re-ignite our consciences; and find power and courage in Christ to be continuously honest.
Furthering Filth

Speaker: Wayne Braudrick
Series: Raising the Bar
Description: The furthering of filth is possibly the most epidemic aspect of our current western malaise. Our cultures and churches are especially overrun with inappropriate sexuality & sins of the tongue, including gossip, slander, bawdy jokes and cussing. However, we mustn't think these sins are merely external. The problem begins inside our dirty hearts. Again, we must recognize how we are missing the mark (harmartia); reaffirm God's reasonable & healthy standards; and rely on the redeemed community, scripture, and Spirit to help us change.
Sponsoring Selfishness
01/15/12
Speaker: Wayne Braudrick
Series: Raising the Bar
Description: We tend to be selfish in our interests (thanks, Jerry B.), money, time, and interactions. Other sins also flow from this base of self-centeredness: jealousy, competitiveness, and controlling others. Not only is this tendency inherent in our flesh, our world often praises such behavior. Further, Christian communities exalt some of this, especially competitiveness & control, and our parenting is rife with sponsored selfishness. The solution is to – 1. Recognize the sin. 2. Raise our standards. 3. Clear the bar by: a. Focus on God's sovereignty. b. Pray for others regularly. c. Practice self-control. d. Exalt graciousness and generosity.
