CHRISTLIFE

CHRISTLIFE
We do not choose the epoch of The Church's life that we grow into.
nor its political climate, nor its leadership.
The perspective of Christlife originates in Scripture.
Our perspective rises against the backdrop of current theology
and popular spiritual doctrine,  and recent intelectual and social movements
e.g. Vatican 2  and   Pro-Life
.
Our faith and hope compose a way of human knowing
which is really different  from people without faith and hope.
We see ourselves as genuinely humble people in whom God can do great things;
Our value of things and persons, our totality of marriage commitment, our value
of prayer and petition, are different.
We come to love God and seek His self revelation....

We have a desire to pray and to pray more deeply.....
We desire to bring the Good News to others....
                 to help the helpless,....to live in peace and harmony.
Christlife's  decisions and habits are made and enacted
in peace, patience, joy, kindness,  goodness,  trust in God
universal benevolence and self control .
                                                               Galatians 5:22

Those who live an active interior life within this dynamic .....
reflecting and deciding on their habits,   live aware that they need
continuing conversion, continuing spiritual renewal, continual help
and enabling by the Holy Spirit.....to develop gracious selfless habits,
gracious  selfless lives,
accepting our crosses  tranquilly .... in the context of love.

It is my prayer that your love may abound
more and more, with knowledge and all discernment.
                                                                                  Philippians 1:9 ESV

Discerning movements in the Church

Bill Johnson.;- The Church has largely replaced the gospel of the Kingdom with the gospel of salvation. This gospel is focused on getting people saved and going to heaven. That message makes it easy to miss the fact that it is only part of the whole message that Jesus gave us.  The gospel of the Kingdom is focused on the transformation of lives, cities and nations, bringing the reality of heaven to earth. We must not confuse our destiny with our assignment.  Heaven is my destiny, while bringing the Kingdom is my assignment. The focus of the Kingdom message is the rightful dominion of God over everything . Jim Miller;- Unfortunately, large parts of the church have not only failed to transform our cities. We have also fallen short of the gospel of salvation.(getting people saved and on their way to heaven). We, for a long time, have centered and still center on the gospel of " Church Membership". (If the church membership numbers are not too bad...then that's O.K. ...

Identify Three Spirits

the spirit of humanism the spirit of sarx the spirit of the dark Humanism Those who live this dynamic generally choose orderly lives and dedicate themselves to some cause, The notable among them are greatly honoured, Humanism's spirit is marked by nobility, idealism, learning, honesty, candor, loyalty, and fidelity.  Humanists may believe in a god.but have no relationship with the living God nor do they put their trust in Him.  A humanist might be a dedicated teacher, or a health visitor to a poor area. They serve others, do not condone injustice; they are upright decent people. Sarx.......    fallen human nature. Those who give themselves to this dynamic in its less harmful moments are great conformers, conforming to the latest fad, they are the target of advertising;- have it all,  have it now, get more, indulge yourself, have the best, top of the range, be one up. Their less lovely side manifests  lust,  envy,  jealousy, ...
