"...am not loving God or others as He loves them." This week's chapter talks exactly about this, using Gal 5:13-14 "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Still falls within the overall definition of "worshiping God", just thought I would share! Slight revision/enhancement as I am teaching through Francis Chan’s book CRAZY LOVE in our Sunday School.

Well, lately God has shown me the depth of a sin I have and why. I knew it was a pattern in my life but not the depth of it. It was painful to see, but more painful to realize the hurt it caused others. I think that pain will cause me to want to change more than the pain that causes me to sin. So what I meant to say is I am working on changing too Fred. Thanks for responding. Yeah? Well, lately God has shown me the depth of a sin I have and why.

I'm most likely to sin when I'm TIRED, EXHAUSTED, and SELF-ABSORBED. Sadly, that's me the majority of the time. Working on changing that. Tracie,

I agree with the "breathing" and "awake" comments. Thing is, when I think I've got an area under control and move on to another, the challenge doesn't just go away. Life isn't a linear series of hurdles that we jump over. We're in the middle of temptations, trials, and circumstances that come at us from all angles. It seems like when I turn around to deal with one area...the one that I turned from hits me harder. Now, basically what that tells me is that I need help, and not just a crutch or someone to lean on. I need a Savior. Daily. Doesn't mean I'm not eternally saved...it just means that as long as I'm living in this flesh tent, I need HIS STRENGTH not my own. Word. when I’m alive.
