Notes from Andy Stanley ~ What Makes You Happy ~ Nothing

A friend sent me the sermon that I will posted yesterday and there were a few takeaways.

When you resist God, you resist happiness.

Sin Separates
You From Others
You from God
You from Yourself

When he said that last part I had to rewind several times. Sin separates me from myself? That's deep. I shared with my friend my thoughts about sin.

1. Sin is bad
2. It impacts others
2. It impacts me

But never have I considered the thought of "separation", especially not separation of me from myself.

Sin substitutes the immediate for the ultimate.

When you sin against someone, you sin against someone God loves. You can't be OK with God and not be OK with the people God loves.
