Didn't See It Coming

September 8, 2019 • Ronnie Rothe

SUMMARY
Nobody sets out to be cynical, but so many people end up there. Why? Cynicism starts not because you don’t care, but because you do. Surprisingly, most cynics are former optimists. This week, we looked at how to recognize cynicism and how to stop it.

MAIN POINT
To avoid the trap of cynicism, we must choose to put our heart and mind out there again.

KEY VERSE
“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." – 2 Corinthians 4:18

CHALLENGE QUESTION
How can you begin to put your heart and mind out there again?
