More Dying not Doing.

The death and burial of Christ is the only death and burial, which leads to resurrection. It is the only environment that we can cling to, which leads to life. If we cling to the world or to self, (which is natural life) we will experience spiritual death. If we cling to the death and burial of Christ, (which is a crucified life) it leads to resurrected circumstances or experiences.

If we descend daily into the crucified life, we will ascend daily into the resurrected life. The key to changing our situations is not more DOING but more DYING.


"For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. " Luke 9:24

Hey Pastor Steve, thanks for the words of encouragement. Being a long time member, the words the H.S. gives you are always a reminder, a rudder if you will. Thanks for the guidance.
God Bless.
