The Transformation Series: The Living Water of the Spirit in Us
In Christ, you have been made a fruit tree and enabled to bear fruit even in the midst of trial and pain. You are a child of God and no longer need to try and win anyone’s love and approval. You are free in Christ to enjoy the things that He has given you, and free to break the chains of sin in your life because you no longer need other things to bring you joy and significance.

The Transformation Series: Why Are There So Many Thorns in My Garden?
Notice that in many religious systems we are asked either to obey to be loved or to forsake “earthly” things in order to be made right. Yet both of those systems do not get rid of sin, motivate anyone, or change the heart. The Christian walk is not a life of seclusion and separation, but a life of redemption that continues to change a life to reveal what real life is like; expressing that life in a heart change, not a rule change.

The Transformation Series: Taking a Look at Real Reality
Our world really has a hard time believing in the presence of evil personified in a being such as Satan. The Buddhist worldview says that the current world is an illusion Hinduism also believes that all matter is illusory and that our problems are a result from another life. Islam, says that the world is wicked because the world isn’t yet subject to “Shariah” (The laws of the Holy Quran). Marxism/Humanism says that evil is either a product of materialistic reductionism and/or inequity of capital distribution. The Christian message is not merely cognitive (Right thinking) or behavioral (Right actions); it is a surgery of the heart that only God can perform by entering into a relationship with Him based solely on the work of His Son on the cross.

The Transformation Series: The Good News of Life's Trials
Have you ever felt alone during a struggle because you thought no one would understand? Are you hiding struggles and pain because you’re afraid of what someone may think? In the bible we see many circumstances of the results of sin in people’s lives, including the lives of those that are considered “godly.” The fact is, Heat is a human reality and many times we will believe the lie that God isn’t present. But according to His word, He is, and He cares.

Romans 8:28-39 Living Free in Christ 6
We are either living according to the “Flesh” (Our self-saving, god-mitigating self), or we are living according to the Spirit (Grace, forgiveness, justification). Our salvation is wholly the work of God in our lives, and not our own mechanisms that often fill in the “Gospel Gaps,” that take place of the real gospel of God’s grace in a person’s life. This is where it all hinges on this doctrine of predestination. Our comfort and hope is in this reality, not our own strength, and religious ways to feel righteous. It simply isn’t up to you, but up to the God “who didn’t spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all.”
