Have you ever had to make a choice between two good options? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares how we can choose the God thing over the good thing. Your life is a result of the choices that you make. It's important to make Godly choices. Discernment is not choosing between good and bad. But many times we are faced with decisions involving options that all seem good. Good idea vs. God idea1. A good idea is me-led.A God idea is Spirit-led. God has a perspective on your life that you don't have. God ideas sometimes doesn't make rational sense. 2. A good idea has earthly significance. A God idea has eternal significance. Every time you choose good over God you are delaying your destiny. 3. A good idea uses my effort. A God idea uses God's effort. God would rather build something with you than fix what you built without Him. What is God's will for your life?1. God's General Will: love God and love people - Mark 12:30-312. God's Specific Will: Specific works and ministries that God has planned for you - Ephesians 2:20Discernment is not just know the difference between right and wrong; it's knowing the difference between right and almost right. - Spurgeon1. Pray: Be Proactive not Reactive - Proverbs 3:5-62. Pause: Listen to God's response3. Peace: Follow Peace. Colossians 3:154. Presence: To Know God spend time with Him. 2 Corinthians 1:8, Acts 16:6Are you living in God's “sweet spot” for your life?

What is God’s will for your life? Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares insight from scripture about how you can know God’s will. You can know the will of God because you’re told to do the will of God.Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.”Ephesians 5:17 “So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Two incorrect ideas about God's will: 1. Anything that happens in life is God’s perfect will. Jeremiah 18:7-10 2. You shouldn’t do anything unless you’re 100% sure its God. Acts 16:10 God’s general will to all people is revealed in His written wordBe saved: 1 Timothy 2:4 Be thankful: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Do good: 1 Peter 2:15 Be holy: 1 Thessalonians 4:3 You’ll know the general will of God when you read the word of God. God’s specific will for you is revealed through His Spirit1 Cor. 2:9-16You will know the specific c will of God when you embrace a walk with God. Practical Tips For Making an Important Decision:1. Search the written word. Psalm 119:105 2. Ask for wisdom from God. James 1:5 3. Seek wisdom from a mature friend. Proverbs 12:154. Let peace call the shots. Colossians 3:15 “If the request is wrong, God says NO.If the timing is wrong, God says SLOW. If you are wrong, God says GROW. But if it’sHis perfect will, God says GO.” If you’ve missed God’s will, embrace reroutingIsaiah 55:7 Heading in the wrong direction? God allows u-turns. Are you learning to discern the will of God?

Walking in the General Will of God positions us in line with the spiritual realm to be sensitive to the Specific Will of God. As Ps. Victor D'Monte continues his teaching on 'Knowing the Will of God,' he speaks to the church about how we can know and live in the Specific Will of God. This can only be done when we know the person and character of the Holy Spirit and why communion with the Holy Spirit is essential. Pastor encourages us to heed and obey the voice of God so that we may be able to live a Godly life in accordance with His Will.
At the start of Populism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2017), five different, and competing, approaches to populism. It has been used to describe those on the left and the right, those in power and those seeking out power. Into this confusion, Cas Mudde and Cristobal Rovira Kaltwasser offer clarity and brevity to the challenge of figuring out what populism is exactly. Mudde is associate professor of international affairs at the University of Georgia; Kaltwasser is associate professor of political science at the Diego Portales University in Santiago, Chile. Mudde and Kaltwasser suggest that an ideational approach to populism offers needed clarification. They argue that populism is centered on specific ideas about The People, The Elite, and The General Will. Whether populism emerges in the form of a social movement, like Occupy Wall Street, or political parties, such as the populism parties spread across Europe, or even populist leaders, these ideas distinguish populists. But they also suggest that the thin-centeredness of populism means it often is connected to other ideologies, such as socialism or authoritarianism. Populism then can manifest in a specific political context as a left-wing movement or a charismatic strongman. Gender, too, matters, as masculinity and definitions of the role of women, feature prominently in populism.
