“Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—” (‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬ ESV)

All,

This sticks out because of “freedom we have in Christ Jesus”. I love to create a checklist for myself to keep myself in check. However, if I’m not careful, the list grows and grows and turns into a legalistic prison of doing things just because it’s on the list. This creates a very “me-centered” mindset that takes me away from a “Christ-centered” mindset. The point is not that lists are bad, but anything can be warped into something not of Christ and will take our “freedom in Christ” away. Please pray that we and our friends desire a relationship with Christ and not a set of rules. Please pray for Cheever and Steven’s group as they are having their commitment meeting on the 24th.
