RevOlution?


In the book I am currently reading..Our Sufficiency in Christ by John MacArthur it talks about how too many people have gained a perspective that all the spiritual resources we gain at the moment of salvation are not adequate to meet the needs of today's complex world. People instead look to different methods of psychology which drains Christianity of it's vitality.

"true psychology can be done only by Christians, since only Christians have the resources for the understanding and transformation of the soul."

I think this is so typical of especially my generation. With technology working its way into all aspects of life there is always an attractive distraction to lead us into turning our back on Christ's provision. This is unhealthy for Christians especially in a world that is gradually becoming more and more desensitized. I often think about these aspects of the modern world... How can we as Christians become a huge revolution, when we are constantly becoming more and more tolerant of the world's standards instead of depending fully on God?

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

I try to keep this verse as the ultimate authority in my life. It so clearly defines the contrast of our faith. The consequence for our sin is death, yet God so graciously gives us the one and only way to Eternal Life. Jesus Christ.
This is my favorite verse and one I think about often, so I deemed it fit to be the content of my first blog.
