Do You Act From the Old Creation or New Creation?
If you internalize what the Word of God says of the old and new creation, it stands to open your eyes to much that has confounded people about the troubles we see in life and the world of Christianity. It’s little secret that those who name Christ are vastly divided into sects and camps with widely varying pictures of what the faith ought to look like, who God is, what He wants of us, and what we may hope for from Him. From the beginning of the church in the first century, the Bible records the early Christians knew Christ Jesus was “Immanuel” or God with us. Matt 1:23 –…

You must die to self in order to live in Christ!
There is one over-riding motive that stands to pollute a Christian’s walk and keep him or her from entering into the fullness of God’s rest and empowerment, and that is serving self above Jesus Christ. All who are born of Adam’s race naturally attend to their own interests, but born anew, a Christian is supposed to be broken from that as his or her core motivation, and seek first God’s glory, and obedience to the Lord. How people may dance around this fact, and reinterpret the doings of their lives betrays what yet motivates them, but a tree is known by its fruits. That is, our results prove who we…
