High Definition Living

For the past 11 weeks, I’ve been teaching a message series called High Definition Living. Everything’s gone HD these days, and it’s amazing how bold the color is and how sharp the picture is. The clarity is incredible. So I decided to take a look at the commandments from God, the moral law of God, the laws that liberate us for real living and how they apply to us right now in real time in high definition.

God has called us, as believers, to be colorful for Him, to be bright, beautiful and bold for Him. We are to magnify and amplify His glory. So how do we do this? By living lives in Hi Def. “I then shall live” is to live in high definition and clarity. We, the people of God, must be willing to step out and step up to the challenge of living for Christ in our generation.

And let’s face it, we live in a world of moral ambiguity where so often many live in a shade of gray, where there’s little black and white or right and wrong. Many people couldn’t tell you what the Ten Commandments are, and given the economic disaster we’re facing, it’s not hard to believe. Sadly, though, it’s also true of the church. So how can we know how to live if we don’t live by the guidelines given to us by God?

Here’s my prayer, that we wouldn’t follow society in the mistaken thinking that the commandments are archaic and irrelevant. They are more relevant than anything our culture has to offer. This weekend I’ll be closing out the series with the message, “The Desire to Acquire.” An appropriate message, don’t you think? Where has all this “acquiring” gotten us? And yet our faith in our God is, was and will always be our foundation.

If you live in the Dallas area, visit our website for service times. We’d love to see you! If you live elsewhere, you can catch the live streaming of the service on Sunday at 11:00 a.m. (CST) on PowerPoint. In the coming weeks, the entire message series will be available for purchase at the Prestonwood Bookstores.
