Notes:
SECTION 1: THE POWER OF ONE
Chapter 1 – The Avoided Question
The avoided question is, “Do our lifestyles differ significantly from out society?” In a lengthy way and mostly in a protective way, Bevere is trying to ask why our lives don’t look much different from non-believers even though the Bible shows how different Jesus and the Apostles were.
Bevere tries to be cautious when talking about anything that resembles the prosperity Gospel, but he argues that we should be bold and do the will of the father without lacking resources. Because the Prosperity Gospel movement has stirred such a lop-sided view of God and abundance, as Christians we’ve become so cautious of anything that sounds like the prosperity Gospel but in truth, Bevere believes we should have access to all the resources we need to make an impact. He says it’s the love of money that is the root of evil, not the money itself.
Chapter 2 – Introducing Kryptonite
Confusing chapter. I think John Bevere is alluding to sin as kryptonite but he does it in a circuitous route. His message lacks clarity maybe because he doesn’t want believers to think all weakness in our life is from sin. He gives the example of the blind man who was blind for 38 years. He also gives the example of Job being accused of sin from his friends for all his calamities.
Chapter 3 – One
Sin not only affects the individual but it hurts the church corporately. Bevere uses the example of Achan, who took plundered goods from the fall of Jericho even though God explicitly said Do not take any of things set apart for destruction and all the silver, gold, bronze, and iron were sacred and to be brought into His treasury.
