What is the difference between a Christian who struggles with sin every day, and one who truly enjoys his Christian life? How can we really enjoy the Christian life, and not be so pulled by the sin that surrounds us in our schools, offices, and everyday life. For some, the answer is to give up the struggle and just join them. Go to church on Sunday and live a compromising life the rest of the week. After all, “if you can’t beat them join them.” Much of Christianity today is determined by some need to be as accepted by the world as possible. The problem is the constant conviction of sin, the hardening of the heart to sin, the question of 'how close is too close' etc. THERE IS, HOWEVER, A FAR EASIER, LESS FRUSTRATING WAY!
Just spend time with Jesus (John 15)! If you will learn a basic spiritual life of reading the Bible, worship and prayer everyday and taking a Sabbath Day to rest and be with God each week, it will amaze you how easy it becomes to live right. It really is easy to live right when you live with Him. Our walk in this world should not be a constant pressure on our will to live right. When your attention is on Him, there is a lot you just never see or hear.
Watch out for the new E3 emphasis!
