To have the mind of Christ, you need to have a Bible filter. To know you have the right filter, Pastor Barry talks about five things Jesus said, that we can do our best to apply these things, as our filter in the way we look at our life with God.

The root of problems in the world today is sin, and the condition of the human heart. Jesus died on a cross to redeem you, and fix your heart. The problem is sin, and what Jesus did on the cross is the answer.

Your Bible filter answers the question of human nature, and the role of sin in your life. Sin is the reason there are so many problems in the world today. Sin, transgression, and iniquities -- are areas of our life we are all responsible for. But know that there is an answer for sin, and that is Jesus!

Jospeh is the hero of the Christmas story. He humbled himself, and believed God with strong faith, as he raised Jesus who was "God with us". Elisha also knew that God was with him, and he his prayer was to open the eyes of his servant so he could see the angels there.

Our life filter needs to answer the question of our 'origin' -- Where did we come from, and why are we here? We need to look at our bible filter to answer that question correctly. You need to know that every life is holy, life has value, life has purpose, and life is eternal.

God is true, and His Word is truth. There is absolute truth, and the bible clearly defines this truth for us. We can know God is true by His creation, by our conscience, and by rational thought. Never accept someone else's filter, until you look at their life -- is it what you want?

Everyone has a filter -- the way we see the wold around us. As Christinas we need to have a biblical filter. We all have to answer 4 major questions of life: God, origin, human nature, and moral views. How we filter things will determine what we see, what we believe, and our future results. God's ways are best for us, so we go to the Bible to learn to see things the way God sees them.

The last book of the Bible is Revelation, it is a book of encouragement, comfort, and warning – about the end times. From Jesus's instruction to the churches, to the great tribulation, to the return of Jesus and the church, to the 1000 year reign of Jesus, to the final defeat of Satan, to having a new heaven and a new earth. God is just showing us that He has a plan. By reading this book, you can know that God will take away His church to be with Him before the tribulation. So as believers, we have nothing to worry about – just go make disciples!
