This briefer-than-usual message includes questions for discussion and personal application, reproduced here for your convenience: Questions for Discussion: 1. What are \u201cother gods\u201d are given priority in our society? What other gods do we see in politics, laws, and government policies \u2013 or in business practices? 2. What changes would be needed to dethrone these \u201cother gods\u201d in our society?  Why would this be good? What would change? 3. What \u201cother gods\u201d take power in my own life? If I am honest with myself, what changes do I need to make? 4. How can we become people who allow God to rule in our own lives? In what ways can we (in humility, with grace) demonstrate to others how it is best to follow Jesus\u2019 teaching? For Personal Change: What might God be saying to me is the next thing He would like to change in my life so that I really follow Jesus as my Lord? Visit us on the web: https:\/\/www.lbfc.org.
