This is exciting stuff! This is life's real adventure! Through His Word and His spiritual presence, may we come to know Him as He wants to be known. May we see things more from His perspective and less from our own.

Real Victory: A Self Examination

I've been thinking and writing quite a bit lately about one of Jesus' key topics: the radical importance of dying to self. That focus has had me prayerfully re-examining my own life. I've been asking the Lord to reveal hidden motives in my own heart. 

Frankly, I've been stunned at the deep levels of self-focus and self-interest He's pointed out. Maybe the worst part is that I've been justifying it, making it seem so reasonable.
