Do You Really?

Are you comparing your walk to the average American Christian, or are you comparing it to what God has actually commanded you to do?Live from Glen Rose, Texas, Coach Shelby delivers a powerful wake-up call straight out of Deuteronomy chapter 6. We talk about loving God, but do we really love Him with all of our heart, soul, and strength? When the Jews read the Shema, they covered their eyes to eliminate all visual distractions. Meanwhile, modern Christians put clocks, parameters, and time limits on the Creator of the universe.It is time to drop the "buttercup" false Christianity and look at the hard truth. If you claim to love your family, but you choose to withhold the Word of God from them just to keep the peace, you aren't loving them—you are choosing their temporary comfort over their eternal destination. True love looks like Moses interceding on his face for 40 days straight to stop a rebellion. It looks like having the word written on your gates, on your hands, and between your eyes. Stop taking breaks from God, stop playing games, and start imitating Christ.Video Chapters:0:00 — Introduction: Lane's Prophetic Hat & Jesus is Coming Back0:40 — Deuteronomy 6:4: The Lord Our God is One Spirit1:12 — The First & Greatest Commandment: The Solution to All Life's Issues2:04 — Eliminating Distractions: Covering the Eyes vs. Modern Time Limits2:24 — The Trap of Comparing Yourself to the American Christian2:47 — The Moses Standard: 40 Days of Intercessory Prayer for the Rebellious3:33 — Who Are You Put in Place to Pray For?

When God is truly number one, everything else aligns.The Intercession Challenge: Moses denied his flesh for 40 straight days to stand in the gap for people who deserved destruction. We claim we love our unsaved family members, yet we aren't even willing to put in the serious prayer time required to see their hearts changed.Better Them Mad Than God: Many believers resort to "go along, get along" relationships with lost relatives because they are afraid of making waves. They are only your family for a short season if they aren’t born again—they will not be family in eternity. Tell them the truth in love.No Hidden Faith: Deuteronomy commands us to write the Word on our doorposts and bind it to our hands. Christianity isn't something you turn on and off based on who you're around. What is number one in your life should pour out of you at all times, in all places, and around all people.Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:Deuteronomy 6:4-9 — The Shema: Loving God with all your heart, soul, and strength.Mark 12:29-31 — Jesus confirming the first and greatest commandment.2 Corinthians 3:18 — Being conformed into His moral likeness from glory to glory.Ephesians 6 — Being bold imitators of God as dear children.#WordTime #CoachForChrist #Deuteronomy6 #Shema #IntercessoryPrayer #NoDistractions #TrueDiscipleship #BeTheChurch
