Summary

I’ve been sick for a week, so we’re revisiting this one today: Are we growing in our walk with God? Today, we’re talking about a “big” word … sanctification. It’s a big word that means a simple thing: grow. Grow. As Christians, we’re called to live set apart lives—no matter who’s watching.

Victory in Spiritual Warfare: Outfitting Yourself for the Battle
Dr. Tony Evans, one of the most respected church leaders in the country, is the founder and senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, a thriving congregation of 8000. In this timely, unique exploration of spiritual warfare, Dr. Evans unveils a simple yet radical truth: every struggle and conflict faced in the physical realm has its root in the spiritual realm.
With passion and clarity, Dr. Evans demystifies spiritual warfare so that readers can tackle challenges and obstacles with spiritual power―God’s authority!
The Power of a Praying Parent
Stormie Omartian’s bestselling The Power of a Praying(R) series (more than 28 million copies sold) is rereleased with fresh new covers and new material to reach a still-growing market of readers eager to discover the power of prayer for their lives.
Fool’s Gold?: Discerning Truth in an Age of Error edited by Dr. John MacArthur
In an age of open-mindedness, many believers accept too much with too little discernment, resulting in great confusion and compromise. But God’s Word makes it clear that not everything that glitters is gold. False teaching is at every turn, and the temptation to embrace it is great. As God’s people we are called to sift through the overwhelming number of traditions and trends and use the truth of Scripture to determine which are the true treasures-and which are “fool’s gold.”
General editor John MacArthur and the contributors of this uncompromising book define the principles of biblical discernment and use them to address several contemporary Christian issues. They provide straightforward, biblical critiques of some popular but unfortunate Christian trends, such as watered-down preaching and doctrinally questionable best-selling books. Dr. MacArthur ends with a practical plan for cultivating discernment in the Christian life.
It is the duty of every Christian-not just pastors and elders-to follow the biblical command to cling to what is good and to reject what is not. This book will equip you with a foundation for biblical discernment that will enable you to make careful distinctions in your thinking about truth.

0:52.2	Have you ever looked around you and been appalled at the things that you do in your own
0:59.0	life, the things that you know that are wrong before the Lord, but yet you cannot, you
1:02.7	seem to not be able to get control over them. We're going to talk about that today. So

1:21.3	to talk to you about a big word. The word is sanctification. Now, some people, you know,
1:28.1	I went to Bible college, and sanctification was a big word in Bible college. Right. You
1:32.0	know, a lot of people debated it, you know, there were Lordship issues, and you know, the
1:37.4	people at the Bible college would like to sit around and talk and big fancy words and
1:42.2	think that we're important. But really, sanctification is pretty simple. It's just growing
1:47.3	in right relationship with Jesus. Are we trying to become more like Christ? Are we growing
