Class Notes--Session 1

I was made aware after Sunday's class that while I had passed out notes, I had not passed out pens, so there were several people who wanted to take notes but couldn't. To remedy that, and so that you can share the highlights of the session with friends if you like (by pointing them to this blog), I'll reproduce the notes here with the blanks filled in:

LIVING IN THE PRESENT TENSE

Week 1

What is time? A SEQUENCE of EVENTS .

How Man Views Time

A. Time is a LIMITING factor in our lives.

Our context for life has three dimensions:

1. SPACE

2. CIRCUMSTANCE

3. TIME

B. Time is ILLUSIVE .

We get pulled between MICRO time and MACRO time.

C. Time is A CURRENCY .

1. It has VALUE .

2. We want to SAVE it.

3. MORE is better.

How God Views Time

1. God CREATED time.

2. He is the I AM . (Exodus 3:13-14)

3. A DAY is like A THOUSAND YEARS . (2 Peter 3:8-9)

EVERYTHING is PRESENT TENSE to God.

HOMEWORK:

1. COUNT THE CLOCKS IN YOUR HOUSE
2. TRY TO LIVE AT LEAST PART OF A DAY WITHOUT LOOKING AT A CLOCK
