WELCOME
Welcome to Burnt Hickory's Wednesday Night Pastor's Class. Truly glad you have joined the class. We are over the half way mark with the class and I hope that you have found the class informative and it has brought to you an awareness to the issues of the day that not only impact the Church in general but also our day-to-day lives as Christ-followers. Remember, feel free to text with questions or articles and topics you would like to cover and further discuss at 470 223 5665. Also, this week I will be "LIVE" from just outside of Phoenix Arizona!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet."Matthew 5:13 (ESV)
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16 ESV
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 ESV

And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed’" (Genesis 12:1-3, ESV)
"For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt" Deuteronomy 7:6-8, ESV

"For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error."
— Romans 1:26–27 (ESV)
"...understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient... the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine..."
— 1 Timothy 1:9–10 (ESV)

"Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.2 Timothy 3:12 ESV
"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you." John 15:18-20 ESV
