You are God's field, you are God's building!

1 Cor. 3:4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal? 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. Another way of saying this might be, " I am a Lutheran, I am a Baptist etc.

Spiritual Schizophrenia

Ever hear of spiritual schizophrenia, or Sp Skitzo for short? It's when you walk in the Spirit some of the time, and then all of a sudden you skip to your flesh, and walk in it a bit, then back and forth, leaving your friends, family, those you're trying to reach for Christ, all confused, frustrated, bewildered. God said I have it, and I have it big time, but I don't have to. All I have to do is what His Word tells me to, things like; crucify the flesh daily with it's passions. Give no opportunity to the flesh. Live in the Spirit. Be crucified with Christ so it's no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me. My life has to be lived 100 % in the Lord, because it's no longer I that live, it's Christ that lives in me. Can I be 97% faithful to my wife. Or am I expected to be 100% faithful? If 100%, then why do I think it's any different with the Lord? Father forgive me for not being faithful. Let me be Yours, all Yours, because we can't be kinda born again, or mostly, we either are, or aren't. So Lord, I am all Yours, in Jesus name, by grace, through faith. Amen.
