Is There a Lid on Your Life?
Many Christians live defeated lives. Whiel God promises an abundant life, far too many Christians would define their lives as “struggling,” “hot and cold,” “up and down,” and “inconsistent.” Yet the Bible promises that we are more than conquerers through Christ. If that’s true, what puts a lid on our lives? Is it possible we’ve limited God adn what He can do in and through us? The Bible teaches us of God’s sovereignty, but it also reminds us of things Jesus could not do becasue of man’s unbelief. Find out how to take the lid off of your spiritual life. Learn to address the issues that could be limiting you. It’s time to let go of anything and everything that’s stopping your spiritual maturity.
God’s Prescription for the Saints
We can’t live the life God intends in our flesh. While we can be baptized, indwelt, sealed, and even gifted by the Spirit, it doesn’t gurantee that we will live on a higher plane. Most believers find themselves trapped by compromise, carnality, and a casual approach to God. Left to ourselves, we will drift away from our higher calling in Christ. God has empowered us to think, live, and behave on a higher level–the level of faith. The flesh can never set us free. It is, in fact, reliance on the flesh that caused the Corinthians so many problems. Only when we learn to live by the law of love will we be overcomers. We’ve been called to be saints, but sometimes we fail to live up to our calling. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul addressed controversial issues and sins that were troubling the church. He offers God’s precription for a healthy Christian life and a healthy, vibrant church.

Holy Yet Human
How do you live for Christ in a fallen world? Can you be both holy and human? These contradictory terms present us with one of the core issues of faith: Can I be godly and holy in these evil days? Can I live a holy life without being weird or strange?
So, what is holiness? It has little to do with the things by which we normally define it. It’s not about rules; it’s about a relationship. Holiness is living a set apart life that is attractive. Jesus was the essence of holiness, and sinners listened to Him and followed Him. The people rejected the scribes and Pharisees in all their “holiness,” but gave their hearts to the holy Son of God. Let’s learn some things about holiness that will help us define the term in a biblical sense.
It’s not easy being holy and human. In fact, it’s a constant tension, but God has given us a clear path. Holiness is not negative; it’s positive. It’s liberating and something every serious believer should pursue.
