Synchronized Life (#999)
Good morning. Today we’re going to talk about the synchronized life. The idea for this came to talking to Peter Lloyd several days ago. He told me he’d run into some teaching online about getting what you say inline with what you do and what you believe. And he was very excited about it, he had never heard anything like that. I told him that sounds like Dr. Wierwille’s teaching on the synchronized life, or he used to call it the synchronized confession. And it is something we’ve all known, he taught it many times, and it showed up in the blue book, The Bible Tells me So. But, he’d never heard it so I told him I would teach on it, and he is not with us today, but he said he would listen to the teaching on the website. So, I dug around my notes and usually I’ve taught on most of these topics and I have notes on them, but I couldn’t find any notes on when the last time I taught this was; so I pulled out Dr. Wierwille’s book on the topic and started looking through it and I realized it was so well said that that I’m actually going to read that chapter to you. I don’t usually do that, but why not? I realize I probably couldn’t say it any better that that Dr. Wierwille did, so I’ll read through that short chapter with you and then I’ll add a few other scriptures on the same topic to wrap up…

Romans 12 – Enthusiastic Living (#998)
Good morning! I was thinking this week about a variety of things, as we all do. And, I remembered the first time I went to the headquarters of the Way International in New Knoxville Ohio. I was just starting my junior year of high school. I’d been in the Word, as far as being involved with the Way, for about four months and there was a New Years advance. So a bunch of us in the New York subarbs rented a bus and went out there. And back then the whole Way International wasn’t that big, the crowd there I think was about the same or perhaps smaller that some of the Family Camps we’ve had here in Virginia through the years. So, you pretty much knew everybody. And it was really wonderful. And the theme of the advance was enthusiastic living. So, we had wonderful teachings about how great it is to be enthusiastic when we trust and believe God. And I thought we would talk about that. And the way we’re going to talk about it is we are going to read Romans 12:1, and about half-way through we’ll come across a term relating to being enthusiastic. So, here we are, we’ll spend the whole time in Romans 12 unless I diverge, which I might…
