The Compound Effect

 

By Tanner Bass

 

Intro.

This book is NOT the Bible, nor should it be compared to as the Bible. Some of these lessons can help us grow and mature as we are called, Phil. 1:9-11; Eph. 4:13-15.

 

I. CHOICES (DECISIONS):

 A. “Our lives are the mirror image of the decisions we make.”

 B. How do you base your choices?

  -Proverbs 2:6; 3:5-6; 16:25; 19:21

  -Are you learning from past choices? Prov. 26:11

  -Forethought prior to your decisions? Prov. 14:15; 27:12

 

II. BEHAVIOR (ACTIONS).

  A. “Your behavior rats you out every time.”

  B. Our actions must be in accordance with God’s Word, Heb. 10:26-27; Phil. 1:27; 1 Tim. 4:12; Jas. 3:13.

     -1 Pet. 2:12; 2 Pet. 3:11; 1 Thess. 2:10

  C. Actions speak louder than words, Matt. 7:16.

 

III. HABIT (REPEATED ACTION):

  A. “A routine is something you do every day, without fail…you do it without conscious thought.”

  B. Right habits will lead us to our spiritual goal!

  C. “Your habits are learned; thus, they can be unlearned.”

  D. We are called to build good habits:

     -Rom. 12:2; Eph. 5:1; Heb. 5:14.

 

IV. COMPOUND EFFECT (TIME).

  A. “We will reap huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices.”

  B. We will reap our spiritual goal from making Godly (smart) choices.

  C. Encouragement: 2 Tim. 4:6-8; 2 Tim 3:14; Gal. 6:9; Jas. 1:21-25.
