Rest in God's Character - Jen Wilkin

Teaching from Romans chapters 11 and 12, Jen Wilkin expounds on Paul’s call to know and worship God in order to be transformed. We must ask “Who is God?” before we can know our own identity.
Wilkin outlines three truths about God that help us understand how to become living sacrifices for him:
God has all riches
God has all wisdom
God has all knowledge
Because God owns all things, we cannot extort or blackmail him. Because God holds all information (knowledge) perfectly and effortlessly, he can judge us perfectly (wisdom). If we want to feel deeply about God, we need to think deeply about him. Meditating on God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge will ultimately transform us into Christ’s image.

A very rich teaching. Thank you!

[@lizblackburn6404]

Wonderful! As she mentioned I learned more about myself and more about God. I will listen again and study slowly piece by piece. I want this message engraved in my thinking and deep in my heart. Thank you, Jenn.

# SAVING THIS TO WATCH AGAIN & AGAIN & TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. PRAISE GOD!!!

[@VictoriaWilson]

Thank ❤ you, as always!

[@jenniboye]

Loved this! At first i thought "oh no she is saying that (its a book about god not about you) again", but just like you said - repetition is very important!! Also, i feel like in this talk you went a bit deeper into that theme: I learn about myself by learning about god. I need to understand god first, so i can understand myself. Franky, i dont really need to know myself or how i was before being transformed. I need to know god, thats important.

Is she teaching a woman's class or is it a mix of men and women or a congregation? If a mix or congregation has she not read But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Jen Wilkin often teaches to men. But sadly, that is one of the MANY things dangerous about her. She should no longer be taken seriously as a Godly teacher.

[@bigdw9545]

It is the TGC Women’s Conference.

[@kathypartee3314]

Jen ministers to women. Our ladies are currently taking her 10 week Abide Bible study on 1,2,3 John.

[@musicalone74]

​@Laura McKinney Jen is complementarian. She only teaches at women's conferences. There have been panels that she was included on, but the men take the lead.

[@rebhan4981]

⁠@@lauramckinney9896I’m interested in hearing what your specific concerns are that make her dangerous. Would you be willing to share?

“The God of the Old Testament (the Bible) is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” ~R. D.

I disagree.. with your transformation definition. It is written , we have been given a new heart, the new heart has the Holy Spirit residing in it. The love of God has been put in, The mind is transformed by the heart not the other way around. We have been given the mind of Christ to understand the heart.. the word and the way of God. We don't have wicked hearts in Christ.. it couldn't be transformed it had to be removed and replaced. Praying for the truth to set us free.

You should be ashamed of yourself to call Samson a Dirtbag, who are you to judge, as though you are not, the Lord god chose people and brought them fourth that we may learn the truth of a matter the things which are written, all people should be respected from the least to the greatest, time and time and time again I hear people putting down the people in the Bible as though they are above all, have you become like the pharisee, thank you Lord that you have not made me like this tax collector, did not the Christ die to save us, it was for this purpose he came into the world, without his death no one is saved, the ignorance that is so rife in the so-called preachers of today, I would rather spend my time with King David and Samson, and be proud to call them my friend, then with so many ignorant judgemental disrespectful so-called Christ believers, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

@@zach2980 Christ said, it is for this reason I have came into the world referring to the cross where he died, and it is by the will of God Samson did what he did, God gave him the power to do it, terrorists kill the innocent while they are going about their daily lives, Samson killed all those who were using him for their entertainment,

[@TempleofChristMinistries]

@@zach2980 yes he is in heaven now because he was raised from the dead, terrorists do the devil's work they have no God, it sounds like that you are very ignorant of things you are talking about because you have not thought them through, if you read my comment you would clearly understand the difference between a terrorist and what Samson did if you cannot see the difference then you are blind to the truth, but what good is it to argue with one who does not believe because you will simply believe whatever you want to believe and remain ignorant to the truth, it is like arguing with a 5 year old even when you tell them the truth they still ask why,

[@TempleofChristMinistries]

@@zach2980 no, he sacrificed himself for you, to save you from your sin, so that the power of God my live in you to purify your heart and bring you into the kingdom of god, because he loves you, you are the dearest thing to his heart, as a mother would give her life to save her child, because her child is the dearest thing to her heart, there is nothing more beautiful in life than to be loved, and there is nothing more beautiful in life than to love,

[@TempleofChristMinistries]

@@zach2980 it is written, seek and you shall find, ask it shall be given to you, knock and the door shall open, if you seek his mercy you will find his mercy, if you asked for his mercy you will receive his mercy, and if you knock on his door which is the Christ, then it shall open and you will see his mercy, for the Christ is god's mercy on the world, for it is not by work or effort but by the mercy of God,

[@TempleofChristMinistries]

@@zach2980 well this is a question no one can answer except god alone.
