Learning From The Body

Last weekend my wife and I, along with a couple other friends, attended a small conference to hear a certain author speak and to meet some other people who love Jesus. Needless to say, we had a blast. The message was wonderful and has been fresh in my mind all week as we have continued looking into the subject. But I won’t be talking about that in this post.

Rather, I want to share something that became very real to me again over the weekend. For me, the best part of the conference was getting to meet some awesome brothers and sisters in Christ and getting to actually spend time with many of them.

After the weekend, I tweeted the following about a particular truth that once again became real to me…

Enjoy and may Christ ever be made greater in our sight…

In Christ we have an open heaven, complete and direct access to God and the things of God. The Holy Spirit will not simply provide us with more information to clog our minds or Twitter feeds.

Lunch Time Considerations

I was thinking about the difference between living for Christ and living by Christ over lunch today.

I was also considering how Jesus went about living by the Father’s life, a life source beyond Himself. Jesus is our “example” in that He shows us how to live by the life of an indwelling Lord. The Christian life isn’t a life in which we live by our natural self for God. Rather, the Christian life is a life lived by Christ in us. Through us.
