Hey and welcome back!
Todays big teach was about freedom-freedom from sin. In this talk, Pete used 4 dogs to make an illustration -Spike, a dog who was always struggling and strangling, Buster, a dog who was totally out of control, Max, a dog that stands by the side of the owner, and Benji, a lazy dog with no desire. In this illustration, Pete said that Max was the way a Christian should live their life- a person who grows and desires to be with their master, in our case, with God. However, the journey isn't easy being with God, in fact, its much more of a conflict or war zone between ourselves. We are battling with our old selves, "we are saved from sin but we battle with sin within us." But Pete described this as normal for christains we will mess up, but we know that God will keep calling our names to keep us aligned.
Thanks for coming and hope to see you back for my next blog!
This is great. Thank you. Remember, if you ARE struggling with sin, that is a good sign... your in the warzone.
