If you only only concerned about you, you come to worship selfish, not worship service.

Dr Tony Evans says we block God's blessings when we refuse to be a blessing to others.

And if you are me, myself, and I Christian, you ain't get nothing.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans. Author, speaker, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, and President of the Urban

Alternative. An 18th century poet once famously wrote,

To Air is Human, to Forgive Divine. once famously wrote to air is human to forgive divine.

Well, today Dr Evans talks about how God can redeem even the worst part of our lives

and use our mistakes, failures, and brokenness to minister to others, if we're willing to abide

in him.

Tony draws today's lesson from the book of 1st John, chapter 3.

Let's join him. When you go to the bank, when you go to the airlines,

when you go to the hotel, you can know they're

going to ask you for your ID. Now you went there to do business

but they won't do business until the ID has been taken care of. When you want to do business with God, he wants to see your

ID. When you want heaven to do business with you, he wants to see your ID. He wants to

know that you've been abiding with him and that you've been

loving the siblings because if the ID is missing you can't do business in heaven.

God requires the ID, the identification of abiding he is part of all of life and the

idea of loving that you actually do what he brings before you to do that benefits others in his name, the Bible

calls that love, that is the ID that allows you to do business in heaven. Many of us are aware of reward programs. Programs that are

designed to give you extra benefit. The airline, American Airlines, has the advantage and Advantage Gold, Advantage Platinum,

Executive Platinum, Conseer.
