Oh my word, I haven't been on this thing in awhile. Just thought I'd note that.
Anyway, We've been going through Galatians at Elvins. It's an awesome book if you've never studied it in depth. I recommend it. Anyway, there's a constant theme through Galatians: Are you following the true Gospel?
I admit to you right now that I don't always do this. I get fearful of what others think. I justify my thoughts and actions. I do whatever it takes to get away from the fact that a Holy God died for a miserable sinner (ie me). But the truth is the true Gospel takes your pride, your jealously, your hate, your very life, and turns it into something awesome, something more Christ-like. This is after all the "good news", the thing everyone needs to hear and partake of, and sometimes my life just doesn't reflect it.
I pray my life can be more Christ-like...
