Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: Seek Earnestly For A Heart Of Wisdom Date: 03/12/2023 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is the necessity of diligently seeking a heart of wisdom by recognizing the preciousness of each day. This wisdom is characterized by having no bitterness, loving everyone, and having forgiven and sought forgiveness for all wrongs. The speaker warns against false teachings that diminish the need for perseverance in love, emphasizing that enduring in love until the end is what leads to salvation.

Reflecting on Psalm 90 and the brevity of lifeMoses writes Psalm 90 while witnessing the consequences of God's judgment on the generation that came out of Egypt.Psalm 90:9

Teach us to number our daysEvery day is important so that we can present to God a heart that has unlearned foolishness and gained wisdom, free from bitterness.

Dealing with what is in our minds nowWe should focus on what God thinks of us right now rather than worrying about what people might think if we lose our memory.

Beware of false prophets in the last daysFalse prophets mislead many by teaching that you can live however you like and keep sinning because of grace, which contradicts the New Testament call to be overcomers.Matthew 24:11

How to know a true prophet from a false oneYou can tell by whether your love for Christ is increasing or decreasing, as false teachings lead to growing cold in love.

Enduring in love until the very endJesus states that the one who endures in love till the end is the one who will be saved.

Putting unloving thoughts to death immediatelyDetermine never to allow anything contrary to love to enter your heart, putting away any unforgiving attitude right away.

Making full use of every single dayJust as we are careful with money, we must be careful to use every day of our life to gain a heart of wisdom.

Supporting others in prayer and judging ourselvesInstead of judging a brother for being boring when he shares a message, ask yourself if you prayed for him, and learn to judge ourselves.
