Integrity - the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness 

When we feel like God is LATE, 

we tend to LEAD

When we feel like we’re CONFUSED, 

we tend to CRASH.

When we feel like we’re ALONE, 

we tend to go ASTRAY.

When was the last time you felt like God was delayed and you stepped in to deliver?

1. WHY DO WE LET OUR HEARTS TURN FROM GOD?

2. HOW DO WE THINK ANYTHING ELSE ON EARTH WILL PROVIDE WHAT GOD CANNOT?

Exodus 32:1-6 

Beware of Blindness, Boredom, and Bowing

The simple formula for going astray is being blind to what path you should take and then being bored with what path you’re on that is too slow to produce. 

Proverbs 29:18 

Without revelation people run wild,

but one who follows divine instruction will be happy.

What have I replaced God with this week? 

What did I spend significant time on this week?

What efforts or sacrifices did I make this week?

What did I find myself talking about most this week?

What did I think would help me, serve me, or make a difference in my life more than God this week?

Exodus 32:7-10 

Don’t move forward if you haven’t been faithful

Exodus 19:5 Now if you will carefully listen to me and keep my covenant, you will be my own possession out of all the peoples, although the whole earth is mine, 6 and you will be my kingdom of priests and my holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to say to the Israelites.”

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

What I am saying is to be faithful to what's before you, even if… 

Exodus 32:11-35 

Be Humble & Take Personal Responsibility for YOURSELF

Just because they have a MOUTH for God, 

doesnt mean they live on MISSION for God.

A little leaven, leavens the whole lump.  

Another way to say it is - Bad company corrupts good morals. 

Psalm 106:9 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped the cast metal image. 20 They exchanged their glory for the image of a grass-eating ox. 21 They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt, 22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, awe-inspiring acts at the Red Sea. 23 So he said he would have destroyed them— if Moses his chosen one had not stood before him in the breach to turn his wrath away from destroying them.

FINAL THOUGHTS

HEAR that golden cows will destroy you and your community.

KNOW that a community that’s centered around Christ alone is worth the work.

LIVE in obedience to what God has already called you to do.
